Album Reviews:

Q (11/96, p.150) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...an odd but interesting record. The tracks date from 1944-'46, and reflect the development of modern jazz from the simpler swing style. Stan Getz is probably the most complicated player represented...producing a much tougher, coarser tone than he would later be associated with..."
