Black Saint and Soul Note Complete Remastered Recordings

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I saw David Murray with Henry Grimes and Sunny Murray once and it was fantastic. So I might get the David Murray one. A cheap introduction to Anthony Braxton might be a good idea too. Strangely it was Mary Halvorson that got me interested to delve into his work as she namedrops him in every interview she gives (curious to hear her solo record, two songs are already online on her bandcamp page).

I would not recommend this box as a Braxton starting point. If you can find cheap copies of his Arista albums, particularly New York, Fall 1974 and Five Pieces, 1975 and maybe The Montreux/Berlin Concerts, those are better entry points. (They're anthologized in a Mosaic box with a bunch of other great stuff, but that's expensive.)

Thanks, guys, will check out Dixon. Speaking of Murray, really enjoyed him with Geri Allen and Terri Lyne Carrington on a recent rerun of Jazz Night In America's Murray special, still hope they'll get around to making an album at some point.

Mosaic boxes are expensive yes. Still eyeing on that Woody Shaw Mosaic box too. I guess it´s a great supplement to the Columbia box (which is quite cheap).

I have both those Shaw boxes, and yeah, they rule. I just got into his solo work when those were released; what an amazing player he was.

Shaw is great on Hank Mobley's "Thinking of Home" too.

So some of CAMJAZZ boxes are no longer available. Today I got the Kenny Wheeler and George Lewis boxes after reading there were few copies left in the DMG newsletter. Amazon has some boxes too but I guess they will be OOP soon.

I wound up buying a bunch of these. I have the Braxton, the Dixon, the second Muhal Richard Abrams box (more duo and small group stuff rather than the large ensembles, which didn't do much for me), the Julius Hemphill, the Henry Threadgill, one by tenor saxophonist George Adams, one by the World Saxophone Quartet, all three David Murray boxes, and two by Max Roach.
