What a goldmine of wonderful music! I had three of the original LPs recorded by this group, but frankly, it had been so long since I had played them I had forgotten just how great these sessions were! They define "swing"! With terrific support from Ray Brown, Buddy Rich and on one session, Herb Ellis, this music, cut after cut, makes one realize, in case we had forgotten, what giants of jazz each of these musicians is.One, or more, of the 5 CDs in this set has been in my CD player since I got it over three months ago. How lucky we are to have all of this music available once again.
