mesfen Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 I found this Proper box set containing some incredible performances. I know some, if not all, have been probably released elsewhere (i am aware of the Roost recordings from the Live Savoy set, and Carnegie Hall Bluenote release ). How does this Proper set compare with those and the other releases that contain these performances? Quote
jostber Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 A great set. Have not compared it to the others you mention, but there's a lot of wonderful music here. Quote
Clunky Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Once you hear the word from Bird there is no sampler CD or Lp that can keep you satisfied. Quote

Full disclosure, I am a Bird completist ... get the Live Savoy, Bird on Verve Box, Dial/Savoy Studio, Live at Birdland 4-disc set, Town Hall, Summit Meeting, Massey Hall ... hell just get all the damn Bird that you can afford and then go into debt to afford more.

jcam_44 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 Just picked up this set for a really reasonable price. Nice set, decent sound quality. Haven't had a chance to go though the booklet but its about 50 pages Quote
mjzee Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 I think it's a great value, and there are things on there I had never heard before. Quote
