I believe, I do have a small amout of the material in this box, but this looks really nice to have

Excellent purchase - this is a very interesting set.

 Barnes and Noble had one copy of this in their physical store, and I had a coupon, so I paid slightly less than the going Amazon price

Introducing Wayne Shorter / Kelly Great

[toledobass]

One of my favorites of all time.....and not just Duke recordings.

30 tracks from 1963.

Here is a review

A two-CD set, with the band in great form drawing on material from all eras. There are full performances of "Suite Thursday" - much livelier than the studio take, and improved by an extended Nance violin solo on "Lay-By" - and "Tone Parallel To Harlem," in addition to the usual parade of hits ("Rockin' In Rhythm," a rearranged "Perdido"), new material ("Theme From The Asphalt Jungle") and some offbeat oldies ("Rose Of The Rio Grande"). Cootie Williams had just rejoined the band after a twenty-year absence, so "Concerto For Cootie" is back, paired with the new "Tootie For Cootie," and the set ends with "Echoes Of Harlem." Hodges is as tender as ever on his features "On The Sunny Side Of The Street" and "The Star-Crossed Lovers." Strayhorn's bombastic "The Eighth Veil" is one of the stranger tunes here; Gonsalves's feature "Cop-Out," on the other hand, sounds like any big band you'd hear on a 50s film soundtrack. Oh, and if you want to study the distinct approaches of the various soloists, this is a great place to start, because Duke calls out the name of the featured player at the end of each tune (even each solo on the everybody-blows-a-chorus "Jam With Sam"). (DBW)

I continue to be drawn to Duke's music and enjoy the later efforts as much as the earlier ones.  And being a live/concert recording junkie, this was just too much to pass up.

Hancock's Maiden Voyage is a jazz classic. I've never been too fond of Dexter Gordon tbh.

The Dex is nonetheless a jazz classic, too

Two more from the bins at Barnes and Noble. Bought totally on speculation.

A double CD (priced as a single CD), although the whole thing could fit comfortably on a single CD. It's also being issued as a double LP, so perhaps the explanation lies there. I listened to the first CD earlier. Has a mellow folksy feel.  Some numbers have vocals, some do not.

I am also eying this one.  There is also a Brad Mehldau box set on sale which could nicely find its place into my home.

[king ubu]

That Mehldau box is recommended!

A Freddie Hubbard compilation on Wounded Bird, which I had on vinyl, now on CD. There was a similar Coltrane collection, but I can't find it, if it exists.



This is the LP cover.

Also, a Coltrane album that for some inexplicable reason I never bought, even on vinyl. It is excellent, from my favorite period of Atlantic.

[Brian]

Three hopefully essential live albums:

Miles Davis Sextet Live at Newport 1958 (the Coltrane-Cannonball-Evans group)
Dizzy Gillespie at Newport 1957 (with Lee Morgan, Al Grey, Pee Wee Moore's Doodlin', Benny Golson, Wynton Kelly, Mary Lou Williams, etc.)
Grand Reunion: Earl Hines Trio with Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge

Both excellent, Brian.

The Dizzy is excellent, the Hines great fun, the Miles ... hmmmm, somehow the band wasn't really in good shape that day - but it's nowhere near a "bad" record.
