This review is from: Best of Benny Golson (Audio CD)

Although all of this material has been previously released, it is a fine collection. If you have only know Golson from the Jazztet and the Jazz Messengers, this is a excellent introduction to some of his other work with many other jazz legends including Max Roach, Art Blakey, Curits Fuller, J. J. Johnson, Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Tommy Flanigan and others.

Note: This collection doesn't have anything from Golson's best known and most historically significant work on the Jazztet or Jazz Messengers sessions. Two CDs that feature Golson and must-have albums for any serious jazz fan are: Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Moanin' from 1958 and Meet the Jazztet from 1960.
