There are also (4) un-numbered purple boxes. I believe these are the same sets as above... but can't verify as they are sealed.

Bebop Legends / Dizzy Gillespie - Charlie Parker
Duke Ellington - Great Jazz Classics
Benny Goodman - Lionel Hampton / Jazz Milestones
Note about condition. These sets are 30 to 40 years old. Some of the sets have a light mildew between the sealed plastic and the cardboard case. I opened one of the sets, wiped the box with simple green, and the slight musty odor was gone in 2 days. (There was no sign of mustiness / mildew inside the box sets.) All these sets can be cleaned. I decided to leave them sealed, as some collectors might prefer them that way. A set sold for $1,800 recently. They were opened. These are musty, so I am trying to price them accordingly. Haven't seen another nearly complete sealed set on ebay, so hard to gauge value.
Note that these will ship in two boxes, and they will be heavy.
