Great bop/hard bop collection. Albums such as the classics "Cookin'" "Steamin'" Relaxin'" and "Workin'" are all included. Coltrane and Philly Joe Jones really shine on these sets.Even some harder to find albums appear on the first two disks of this set. "Bemsha Swing" from the MODERN JAZZ GIANTS album is a great Monk tune.Highlights include the jivin' "Trane's Blues," "Aigrin," "Half Nelson," "Night In Tunisia" and "Blues By Five."Not enough alternate takes for my total satisfaction, but none the less, essential music.Four and 1/2 stars.
