I think the canonical choice would be the three disc set of the Basie Orchestra's Decca Recordings: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Decca-1937-39-Count-Basie/dp/B000003N3G/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1284913736&sr=8-1 although if you want something more than just the Basie material, the budget-priced box set from Proper Records UK, which offers a nice spread of material from the Basie Orchestra, the Billie Holiday stuff, and some of the Aladdin sides: http://www.amazon.com/Lester-Young-Story-Mini-Sleeve/dp/B00004S2AW/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1284913669&sr=8-1 ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
