[romualdo]

not sure if this topic has been covered before

here's a start

Dexter Gordon Blue Note set

Bill Dixon Odyssey set

Charles Mingus Atlantic/Rhino set

Lester Young Verve set

John Coltrane live in Japan (Japanese release only)

Albert Ayler Revenant set

there must be many more

[David Ayers]

Does it *have* to be boxed sets? I guess there are single discs that include interview snippets. Even the famous Eric Dolphy 'after you play music' is edited from an interview. I can think of one unofficial Ornette disc that has an interview (Tivoli, I think). But after that, er....

ESP Pharoah Sanders

[Stereojack]

Billie Holiday Verve boxed set

John Coltrane in Stockholm (Dragon)

Lester Young - Complete Verve box

(does the Holiday include an actual interview or just that rehearsal disc? I usually just get out some of the music - the dates with Webster, Edison, Rowles, or the ones with Shavers etc.)

Anthony Braxton - Quartet (Coventry) 1985 (Leo Records, 2 CD set)

[brownie]

a 2CD set

The Charley Patton Revenant box has a disc of interviews - not with Patton, of course. But the interviews with Patton's associates and with H.C. Speir, who discovered Patton as far as as the record industry goes, are pretty interesting.

The Charly/Chess Complete 1951-1969 Howlin' Wolf box has 10 minutes of interview material.

Milt Hinton's two-disc Old Man Time has almost as much interview as music - about an hour. I love the 13-minute segment of Cab Calloway alumni reminiscing; Doc Cheatham, 50 years after the event, tells Cab for the first time about the night Cab accidentally paid Doc his week's salary twice. To his credit, Cab laughs uproariously when he hears the story.

I think Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings might have some interview material. (Insert wry emoticon here.)

[Tom 1960]

Not a box set, but I seem to recall the Charlie Parker in Boston disc on Uptown has a brief interview with Bird.

[jazzbo]

Holy Ghost box set.

[xybert]

The Max Roach & Cecil Taylor Historic Concerts album has some interview material at the end of disc two, about 16 minutes in total but it's interspersed with music. This album is also a available as part of the Cecil Taylor Black Saint/Soul Note box so technically it's in a box set!

[B. Clugston]

The Mingus Atlantic box set.

[Tom 1960]

The Bill Evans Fantasy box set includes an interview with Marian McPartland.

[BFrank]

32 minute interview on disk 2.

ESP Sonny Simmons.

[GA Russell]

These three are single discs with interviews included at the end.
