4.0 out of 5 stars Loads of Jazz, September 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Playboy's 40th Anniversary: Four Decades Of Jazz (1953-1993) (Audio CD)

This album is perfect for the jazz lover, or someone just persuing the musical genre of jazz. I really enjoy the album and it is so complete, with jazz hits from 4 decades. It comes with a lovely, informative book with pictures and information about many of the hits and artists on the album. Although this item is slightly pricey, it is a fairly good value for all the music. You will most likely enjoy this album and the wonderful collection of jazz hits.

This review is from: Playboy's 40th Anniversary: Four Decades Of Jazz (1953-1993) (Audio CD)

Jazz and all that implies. Yes, four decades of it on four discs. Brubeck, Torme, Garner, Ellington, Davis, Hancock, they are all here plus many others. The book that comes with this set is very good. It's the sort of thing I look for in a boxed set. I not only like the music and discs, but I like to have information and photos and this set has it all. Above average all around.
