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