5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Document, July 17, 2007

This review is from: Witness - the Complete Set (Audio CD)

This set is an important document of African American music. The performances are all excellent; more importantly, however, the compositions are all excellent. A must have for any serious student of American music.
