The price on this set is now $103.57 on Amazon.

My copy arrived today. Just beginning to dive into the six CDs, but I have to say, this is one of the most gorgeous box sets I've ever seen. The graphics are stunning, with a retro jazz style that fits this music perfectly. Lots of great photos, too.
