Time Life Classic Jazz

This morning while reading the newspaper and listening to ESPN, the commercial for this collection came on again. I flipped over to the Time Life web site and took a look at it. It is one of their typical buy the first two discs, then get another disc every month. The total set consists of 10 discs for a total of about $110 currently "on sale" for about $94.

Has anyone listened to any of these discs? If not has anyone listened to any of the other Time Life discs? What is the quality of these recordings? Thanks :-) Doug

Another source for those wetting their whistle in jazz is to use your local library. The slections obviously vary from town to town, but the price is right. In my area, when I run into a new name I want to investigate I can just log on via the net or dialup, see what's in the county-wide system, have it delivered to my local branch, and get an email notifying me when it's in!

I just picked up the Time life jazz first two cd's. Keep in mind this is my very first jazz cd but I am very pleased with them. The recording are great and it offers an excellent selection of artists. I will post all the artist and songs when I get home.

Have no experience with Time Life. However, I would recommend the Ken Burns set if you are just getting into jazz. For Christmas I received twelve of the Ken Burns CDs, which my wife was able to buy through a music club (I think BMG) at 12 for the price of 1. Can't miss at that price and will expose you to a good sampling of the some of the more major artists. Sound quality is acceptable but note the previous post regarding old recordings.
