Here up for auction is a batch of high quality music on 49 CDs (which includes 2 twofers).  There is no reserve on this auction.  All items pictured are included, and the seller is happy to add 4 more good CDs to the lot prior to shipment. 

This is one of several batches of CDs listed by the seller at this time.  This particular batch includes several CDs each by some well known and perhaps undeservedly less know tenor plays: Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, and Hank Mobley. Mobley's Blue Note CDs, as a group, are under-recognized for the quality of the music (and they have great covers).  In particular, Soul Station with Wynton Kelly, Art Blakey, and Paul Chambers is one of the best Blue Notes of the 60s.  Also included are albums by several pianists in solo, trio, and group setting: Tommy Flanagan, Wynton Kelly. Kenny Drew, Hampton Hawes, Walter Norris, Jessica Williams, and Steve Kuhn.  There are nine solo piano CDs from the Live at Maybeck series.  I also included several CDs by Hank Jones because I think he is seriously underrated.  A few other less-familer highlights: Johnny Griffin's Blues for Harvey from his Europe years; the solo pianos CD by Jessica Williams, Walter Norris, and Steve Kuhn, and the Ruby Braff/Dick Hyman albums of show tunes (trust me, they are good!).  You also get two CDs of Thelonious Monk covers, one by Water Davis, Jr, and the better known one by Tommy Flanagan. And two CDs of Thad Jones cover, one by Tommy Flanagan, and the other by Thad's brothers, Hank Jones and Elvin Jones.  I save for last one of my personal favorites: Ellis Larkins' Maybeck Recital.  This is a diverse collection, and perhaps no single listener will appreciate all of the music equally.  But the listener may also encounter previously unfamiliar CDs that become new favorites.

Buyer pays $8.99 flat rate shipping to CONUS via USPS Media Mail.  

If you have questions about what is or isn't in the batch, contact the seller. I won't trade out items on request, but I will throw in some extras prior to shipment. If the buyer lets me know what he or she likes, I may be able to accommodate.

Note: in some cases the front inlay was trimmed (not tripped) so it would fit in the plastic sleeve.  Also note, the seller will choose the four extra CDs that will be included for free, but if the buyer contacts me right after winning the auction and suggests what he/she desires i may be able to offer something you like...no promises.  Otherwise I will use my judgement as to what to add, and I have plenty of good CDs to pick from.
