Miles Davis' classic hard bop sessions originally recorded in the 1950s
for Prestige are now part of the vast Concord jazz catalog
When the Concord Music Group acquired Fantasy Records not long ago, it took control of a treasure trove of jazz material originally recorded for other independent labels that Fantasy had purchased over the years, including Milestone, Riverside, Prestige, Savoy and many more. Between Concord's own extensive catalog and the Fantasy acquisition, it may be a slight exaggeration to say that just about every major figure in jazz is represented somewhere in those archives, but only a slight one.
Now, just in time for Christmas, Concord is putting a good chunk of their catalog on sale, with prices on some CDs as low as $8.98 and a 10% discount off the whole order if purchased online at ConcordCatalog.com. They're also offering free shipping on orders for $100 or more.
I haven't compared the sale prices on individual CDs to other vendors around the 'net, but I'm sure that if you want to do the research many of these items could be found for similar prices, or perhaps even cheaper, elsewhere. Still, with the sale prices, online discount and free shipping, it shouldn't be too tough to put together something that qualifies as a good deal. If there are fellow jazz lovers on your gift list, or if you'd just like a "present" or two for yourself, it's worth a look.
(And in case you're wondering: While I'm certainly not averse to the notion of trying to make a buck off of this site, I'm not profiting from any orders placed with Concord. I just got the print catalog in the mail, and thought the sale offer was worth passing along.)
