THE COMPLETE TIME-LIFE GIANTS OF JAZZ COLLECTION: 84 LPs with 28 Fabulous Booklets in 28 Box sets. LPs, BOOKLETS are in MINT CONDITION  &  the BOXES have never been opened.

 

The Complete Giants of Jazz Series: 28 individual box sets, each housed in a sturdy slip case and box containing 3 LP's in Paper Sleeves and a gorgeous 40-50 page booklet with a biographical essay, notes on the music, rare and unpublished photos, and a discography. These booklets are superb in their research, photographs, and documentation. The writers for this series, some who later went on to write for Mosaic Records, read like a who's-who of jazz journalism. And at 40-50 pages each, the Giants of Jazz Booklets are 2-3 times longer than Mosaic’s. For Henry “Red” Allen, Johnny Dodds, Pee Wee Russell, Ben Webster, James P. Johnson, Joe Sullivan, and others, this is the only box set solely devoted to their work that has ever been produced. Time-Life re-mastered original metal masters found in company vaults and rare 78s from rare record collectors around the globe. Some rare tracks can only be found here, others appear here in their correct speed for the first time ever.

The entire set has never been opened and only 1 box set, Lester Young, has torn shrink wrap.
