5.0 out of 5 stars This double cd and Brubeck's Time Out are classics, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: History of Chess Jazz (Audio CD)

I still think Brubeck's Time Out is the best single cd ever, but History of Chess Jazz double cd is the other "must" that all jazz lovers should have. I challenge anyone to come up with another production that has more truly great cuts. In fact this cd could suffice quite well for someone on a budget...someone wishing for just a morsel of quality jazz. This cd has it all; instrumental, voice, fast paced and slow, different styles, etc.
