the "liner notes" are still contained in a huge, detailed booklet.
the new British Swing box contains a mega-sized 68-page essay.
so, you have nothing to worry about in terms of liner notes.

Seems that all future proper boxes will be in a much thinner box, with each CD in an LP-style sleeve. This is neat but kind of a shame because I've taken to using those big boxes for all kinds of things.

Proper Box does it again...

I wanted to post this link and, incredibly, found that we haven't yet started a Blossom Dearie thread.

Here's the link: http://www2.odn.ne.jp/airstructures/rev ... earie.html

yes, many of these are re-rereleases that can be found at amazon.com or other sites without too much trouble.

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen played bass with Oscar Peterson during the later part of OP's career... he's on "Exclusively For My Friends."
I don't know what else he did.
Anyway, he passed away yesterday, at the age of 56.
