Description
"THE COMPLETE COMMODORE JAZZ RECORDINGS" Mosaic (MR20-134) 20-LP boxed set. The OUT OF PRINT Box Set Is A Limited Edition of 2500. The LPs are in NEAR MINT condition with the exception of Disc 6 which has a small pressing defect along the outside edge that creates a few brief low level tics in the beginning of the first song on side B. THE BOOKLETS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE OUTER BOX and INNER BOXES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. From allmusic: "The third and final Mosaic box set that reissues all of the valuable recordings from Milt Gabler's Commodore label is the smallest of these reissues, a mere 20-LP set. All three of the volumes (which total 66 albums) are wonderful but since they were originally limited-edition releases (just 2500 copies apiece) and have gone out-of-print, they will be difficult to locate and expensive to acquire; buy them anyway if you have any interest in small-group swing and Chicago dixieland. Volume III starts out with some recently discovery alternate takes by Bud Freeman, Chu Berry, Bunk Johnson and Billie Holiday from 1938-44 before concentrating mostly on the 1945-46 period. There are sessions led by Red Norvo, Bill Coleman, Gene Krupa, Stuff Smith, Teddy Wilson and the duo of Don Byas and Slam Stewart (all of those are from a legendary 1945 Town Hall concert) plus dates headed by George Zack, Jonah Jones, Wild Bill Davison, Eddie Edwards, George Brunies and Mel Powell; in addition there are later sets by Bob Wilber, Ralph Sutton, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Wiggs, Willie the Lion Smith, Frank Wess and Peck Kelley. One exhausts superlatives when discussing this remarkable project." Please checkout my other Out Of Print Mosaic Boxsets.(note: most are LP boxsets, one is a CD boxset)
