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

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.
