From: vinyldiscovery.blogspot.com:
"The Greatest Jazz Recordings Of All Time." 25 handsome box sets, with gold lettering on the covers and leather bindings. Each box contained four LPs, pressed on 160-gram, dark red vinyl, for a total of 100 albums. Many of the sets covered a stylistic theme or time period, such as "Great Jazz Inventors -- Davis, Mingus, Monk" or "Cool Jazz-Third Stream -- Baker, Getz, Brubeck, Mulligan, Konitz, MJQ."
Collectible and much appreciated by jazz fans -- not only for the quality of the pressings, but for the extremely well-done selection of tracks and artists. The collection was curated over a period of several years (1983-85) by the noted jazz critic and music scholar Dan Morgenstern. At the time, Morgenstern was the director of Rutgers University at Newark's Institute of Jazz Studies, one of the world's greatest collections of jazz recordings, memorabilia, and other cool jazz-related stuff.
Morgenstern raided the Institute's collection for rare 78s and other obscure recordings that in some cases have been out of print for decades, Of course, he also includes selections from dozens of seminal albums by jazz greats from Louis Armstrong to Pat Metheny. In all, there are some 1,200 tracks on the 100 albums.
Each box set comes with a 20-page glossy booklet by Morgenstern or another noted jazz writer, providing historical context and giving a track-by-track discussion of the music.
Enjoy the music!"
