Jazz Boxsets

I was wondering what boxsets are worth buying. Since I'm new to the world of Jazz I thought some boxsets would be inorder.

Cheers

Besides box sets, Anything with Miles, Cannonball, and Coltrane together (or just two of them) is worth listening to. Perhaps some Charlie Parker with Dizzy as well. There's so much stuff out there so you shouldn't have to look too hard to stumble on something you like.

They tend to be of good quality with lots of songs. It might also be a good idea to take a guess on what you like as well. Do you like singers? Saxophone players? Trumpet players? Do you like ballads? Blues? Up tempo stuff? Big Band? Of course you can always get box sets that covers everything, but box sets focusing on one thing or another might be to your liking.
