RIP. Actually this revive would be about the Bob Porter book Phil posted about on the Rolling Jaxx thread.

I think that iteration of those recordings (it used to be a Mosaic set; the version in the photo is on the Solar label out of Spain, the same folks who did that amazing Sonny Rollins/Don Cherry 6CD live set last year) is out of print already - I see it going for exorbitant third-party prices now when it was originally under $25.

Is there a salty, anecdote-heavy history of jazz from 1920s to 50s that isn't too scary for a non-muso?
