This review is from: Quadromania (Audio CD)

Quadromania is a series of budget CD's consisting of four (4) discs. The jewel case is relatively slim and, except for the teeth holding in the CDs, especially sturdy. For this particular item, it came inside of a slipcase, but I don't know if that's true of the entire product line. The music comes with little documentation -- artists and date performed for the tracks -- but I researched this one so I thought I would share what I discovered.

CD 1 tracks 1-4 and 13-16: Taken from quartet and quintet 1952 sessions led by alto-sax player Lou Donaldson, forming part of his "Quartet/Quintet/Sextet" album

CD 1 tracks 5-12 and CD 2 tracks 1-5: Taken from trio sessions led by Silver in 1952-53 with the bass slot rotating but Art Blakey consistently on drums; overlaps heavily but imperfectly with Silver's "The Trio Sides" as well as "Horace Silver Trio and Art Blakey + Sabu" (i.e., includes some tracks that only appeared on later expanded editions but leaves off a few tracks from the albums as well)

CD 2 tracks 6-7: A pair of performances from the Feb 1954 recordings of Art Blakey's group with Clifford Brown, both left off of the Blakey Quadromania package

CD 2 tracks 8-13: All the master takes from the Miles Davis session making up the second half of the Blue Note CD "Miles Davis Vol. 1"; overlaps with the contents of the Miles Quadromania release

CD 3 tracks 1-4: The 13 November 1954 session of the Horace Silver Quintet, which makes up half of "Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers"

CD 3 tracks 5-7: Excerpts from a 20 May 1955 session led by Milt Jackson and released as half of the Prestige album "Milt Jackson Quartet"

CD 3 tracks 8-9 and CD 4: Performances from the Cafe Bohemia, recorded on 11 November 1955 and spread across volume 1 and volume 2 of the Jazz Messengers' "At the Cafe Bohemia" CDs
