This series of three boxed sets, each comprising eight albums, whilst delivering a whopping 24 platters in toto, is far from complete. But if, like me, you want to collect as much Herbie M as you can, for as little outlay as poss’? One can always ‘fill in the gaps’, in theory.

FOOTNOTE
I tried to get my flautist buddy Dan Ellis into listening to this stuff on CD; I bought him the first set, plus a little CD player. But he wasn’t having it! I wanted to then get him vols two and three. But he says there’s no point!
