Riverside History of Classic Jazz

[Chuck Nessa]

I used to have the vinyl box from the '50s and have fond memories of it. I am considering the cd version and am wondering if it has a substantial booklet or is it just "bare bones". Any help appreciated.

Mine has what I assume to be the original booklet, scaled down.

Thanks.

Not exactly related, but I always liked this box. It's basically made up of Orrin Keepnews favorite jazz tunes from his Riverside years. Each disk is arranged with a different theme.

Yes the booklet is fine and the music is unimpeachable, but if I recall it's NoNoise'd halfway to death.
