One of the great many things about the Holidays is the rush to “Box Set” any music that isn’t nailed down. This season is no exception – there is a plethora of new packages of Jazz greats in a box:
* “The Complete Miles Davis Columbia Album Collection” – 70 CD set (yes, 70) with DVD
* “Ella Fitzgerald: Twelve Nights in Hollywood” – 4 CD set from Ella’s 1961 engagement at the Crescendo Club in Los Angeles
* John Coltrane’s, 1960 studio recording “Giant Steps” (He wrote all the music)
*And there are also new compilations of early live recordings from Billie Holiday and Oscar Petersen.
Abundance! Cool.
