Concord Jazz presents a 3-CD collection that's right for any day, or time of the day. Look at these titles you can choose from...Disc One: "Morning Cup Of Jazz", is simply rhythmic, high-energy collection that's sure to get your coffee and adrenaline going all morning...Disc Two: "Jazz In The Afternoon", take the easy-going jazz, taking the carefree road for the day... Disc Three: "Jazz At Day's End", winding down at the end of the day, has the right combination of swinging and relaxing tracks. Stand outs: "FLYING SOUTH" with Pete Escovedo, is a wake-up call..."ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY?" features Carol Sloane, great mid-day tune..."YOU GO TO MY HEAD" with Mary Stallings, never sounded better.

Concord one again, has brought to you thirty selections of quality jazz for only pennies, this exceptionally priced box-set is a collection for any lover of jazz, or music that makes the moment...pick one up, you'll be happy you did!

(Total Time: Disc One: 61:32 on 10 Tracks & Disc Two: 63:09 on 10 Tracks & Disc Three: 56:06 on 10 Tracks)...Concord Jazz CCD3 5215...(2000)

Was disappointed with the morning part of this 3 CDset, but the afternoon and evening CD's were enjoyable with a reasonable variety of jazz. For the price, this new 3 CD set represents great value, and introduced me to some artists not previously heard.

For the price, this is one of the better box sets of Jazz that you can purchase. The morning and evening CD's are excellent and a pretty easy listen.
The afternoon CD or Disc 2, just did not do it for me. It was a little too upbeat and at times made me think of Mambo. That being said, it is still a good CD to listen to.
The great thing about these CD's are they are an inexspensive way for the novice Jazz listener to experience the many different styles and songs of this genre.
Pick this CD up, it is well worth the [money]
