It’s supposed to be a good anthology of their 1960s recordings. Edited February 6, 2019 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I bought the Brubeck for a teence more than that a few years ago, when I was re-upping with Paul Desmond. Two things - it takes a lot longer to get to the, uh..."less-inspiring" albums than you might thing; There is no cutoff point for when things go stale, it's back and forth up to the end. My Columbia Brubeck CD Collection (aka CBCC) was minimal anyway, so this was a good buy for me. But there's still a buttload of live stuff not included, and maybe a one-off or two like the album with Bill Smith. But the set as is was a good buy for me, because if nothing else, Paul Desmond all up in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don't sleep on the stuff he did after this period, featuring Gerry Mulligan. Much of that is stunningly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Mulligan had the marquee appeal, but the real story on those records was Alan Dawson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I had no choice, they were playing it on the radio when I was, like, 17! Still gonna need somebody to explain Jack Six to me, though. But this, jeez, this one was played at least 3X a week, probably more, I was pulling in the signal from Fort Worth on FM after midnight, > 1250 miles away, can't say that they didn't play it every damn night, I knew it before I did the original.

It will take a little while to get to you, as they are shipping from the UK, but well worth the wait. I don't really have a track record with Rarewaves. If you're in a hurry, good old Moviemars has it for about $5 more ($53.47), and they are US-based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm not a big fan of some of these sellers like Moviemars; they stiffed me on something I purchased on eBay so they're off my list. Rarewaves' ebay feedback was less than stirling so no on them too. I certainly won't die if I don't get this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No experience with Rarewaves and I haven't ordered from Moviemars in recent memory. In my experience, postage from Europe does get knocked around a bit. The Black Saint boxes I've bought all sustained heavy nicks to the box (discs were unaffected); just bought a 2-CD set from NoBusiness (Latvia) and the jewel box was trashed but discs OK.

I have also experienced that some, and it's understandable. BTW, for this box, if you order from Rarewaves, it is several dollars cheaper to do so via ebay rather than Amazon. I always shop ebay/amazon/discogs/importcds for anything I am buying,. Don't think I am missing any others that are consistently enough low-priced to justify the time, but please let me know if I am.
