New Box Sets: The Complete Masters (Universal France)
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 7:13 pm
A new series of box sets have popped up on Amazon etc. They appear to be official/comprehensive/low price sets releases from Universal Music France. They are interesting because they seem to include sessions not owned by Universal, which is unusual for a mainstream reissue project. Hopefully the sound will be pretty good.
The initial sets are of Louis Armstrong. Sidney Bechet. Ella Fitzgerald. Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker.

THE JAZZ MASTERS (Limited Edition)
Louis Armstrong. Sidney Bechet. Ella Fitzgerald. Billie Holiday. Charlie Parker
5 BOXES - Universal Music Classics & Jazz France
Release Date: November 21, 2011
(not available for download)
For the first time together in a single box all records "master" of five legendary figures of jazz. Five artists who through their talent and their interpretation of creative genius have marked the history of popular music of the twentieth century. The sum of their recordings, for some long unavailable, is a heritage of a rich and endless variety and helps to make the output of these five boxes a major event discography.
Special care was taken in the design and implementation of these boxes that receive a luxurious presentation and will be offered at a very low sale price. Valuable articles intended to satisfy the amateurs and all the curious who want to enrich their music nightclub.
Each kit contains:
- 14 CD format Digisleeve ®, or about 300 songs, 15 hours of music enjoying a 24-bit remastered in high definition.
- A 68-page color booklet that includes a biographical text, a detailed discography and a plentiful illustrations (photos, sheet music, album covers ...).
These could be a great buy if you don't have much of a particular one of these artists. I'll definitely be looking at the Bechet set if the feedback is good.
