Just bought the digital version of volumes 10 to 15 from Fremeaux’s Louis Armstrong ‘Intègrale’ series, which were missing in my collection. Just filling in some gaps within my 100+ cd collection of Satchmo.

Moreover, I also pulled the trigger for some volumes of their ‘Live in Paris’ collection: Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Johnny Hodges, Art Blakey & the Messengers, Sidney Bechet, Miles Davis & Thelonious Monk.

I think it was you who hipped me to Planès.

I'd love to hear your general impressions of these.

Finally got a copy of Improvisational Art Quintet with the bonus duet songs. I’ve been trying to find it for what feels like forever and missed in on Dusty’s site a couple weeks ago. 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Ordered a couple of Christmas CDs yesterday.

and

I've been spinning Volume 1 for several years so I thought I'd give the other volumes a try.

I found a copy of the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition for $147 on Discogs and it arrived just now.  I liked the Ellington in Order series that Sony launched last year and bought what they put out, except for one volume which was entirely duplicating material in the Mosaic small group and orchestra sets.  But they seem to have lost interest in the series.  I was also unhappy about the lack of any documentation, even just pages on a website, from the company.  Recently I've grown pessimistic about the continuation of Ellington in Order.  I came across this nice copy very cheap on Discogs.  It was a bit of a surprise getting it because I've never seen the set up close and some of the pics lead me to believe that it was a thick, cd-sized bundle.  It turned out to be a Mosaic-like box with a gigantic bound paperback book!

One of my favorite box sets of any genre. Congrats on scoring a copy!

Wow!  That's terrific, an OUTSTANDING find.

Just like @ghost of miles, that box is one of all-time favorites, a desert-island set for sure.

When I saw the last vinyl copies sold for 400+ dollars and a cd copy popped up from a Dutch seller I decided to quit my quest for the LP and buy the cd. Contains an extra track as well

Just ordered the new McCoy/Joe Hen CD set from BN because they had a 30% off sale. Unfortunately, after tax and shipping, that 30% disappeared pretty quickly.
