If you are interested in exploring Bird but are put off by the innumerable collections and packages, this might be the one for you. Most of the recordings are good quality or better, you get a flavor of CP's playing across forms that might surprise you, and the album has several gems that you'll want to listen to repeatedly. Culling a career, even a short one, into one meaningful disk is a thankless task but I feel Keepnews, who made this selection from his larger boxed set, has done a great job. If you start here, you may not stop, it's that good and it will let you appreciate why so many people keep pointing back to this player as a true musical giant.
5つ星のうち2.0Very frustrating over use of noise reduction and questionable sources.

One would think the pedigree of this set promises amazing results, but, nope. If this set is indicative of the types of transfers on the box set from which this is culled then that set is worthless, as is this. The music deserves so much better.
i would say the sound is similar to that jolt you get from a fresh cup of coffee in the morning with a good cigar. all the pick me up you need can be found in this one cd.
