Not the best cd I have ever heard.maybe I don't know jazz like I should.
You'll get a lot of bang for your buck.Highly recommended for any jazz or 'Ken Burns JAZZ' series collector. All of the jazz giants are here. Jelly Roll Morton, The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and several others that did not get the Ken Burns "royal treatment" are getting it now on this specially priced compilation. These artists all had discs in Burns' series.Another pleasant treat.
Don't feel like buying every single artist in the 'Ken Burns JAZZ' series. You won't regret this purchase. Overall, if you want a quick look at Ken Burns' series at a great price, than do buy 'The Best of Ken Burns JAZZ.' You won't be disappointed. Well, now there's a solution.
The inclusion of artists that were not in the series. ENJOY. 'The Best of Ken Burns JAZZ' offers all of the highlights from the discs you can buy in the series on one CD. Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday and Dizzy Gillespie are all on this disc.
The CD is great to listen to during a bbq, dinner, other family events, etc. I would recommend this CD to anyone that wants to listen to something upbeat. Ken Burns provides the best jazz music in this compilation. This a great CD to own if one hasn't listen to jazz before. I do not own many jazz CDs, but I greatly enjoy listening to this one.
It will be my last purchase at Amazon as long as they promote products that encourage animal fighting. I bought this as a gift for my son.
I much prefer the more recent work such as from Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. It serves its purpose of providing a good introduction, and has informed my further exploration of this music. But the sound quality on all tracks is good. I'm a complete novice to Jazz. Hence this purchase.
