Various The History Of Chess Jazz - Disc 1 of 2 (1996)
Originally Released January 16, 1996\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: History of Chess Jazz is a double-disc set featuring highlights from the label's overlooked jazz catalog. Among the artists included are Kenny Burrell, Woody Herman, Ramsey Lewis, Etta James, Ahmad Jamal, and Zoot Sims. Jazz wasn't one of Chess' strong points, but there is plenty of fine music here, making it a worthwhile sampler. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThis double cd and Brubeck's Time Out are classics, December 2, 1998 \nReviewer: Pete from L.A. (lower Alabama) \nI still think Brubeck's Time Out is the best single cd ever, but History of Chess Jazz double cd is the other "must" that all jazz lovers should have. I challenge anyone to come up with another production that has more truly great cuts. In fact this cd could suffice quite well for someone on a budget...someone wishing for just a morsel of quality jazz. This cd has it all; instrumental, voice, fast paced and slow, different styles, etc. \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nDick LaPalm, Producer\nJoel Dorn, Producer\n\nAlbum Notes\nIncludes liner notes by Jack Tracy, Esmond Edwards, Richard Evans, Phil Chess and Mort Fega.\n\nEntertainment Weekly (02/09/1996)\n...definitive recordings of such jazz masters as Illinois Jacquet...Zoot Sims...and Art Farmer and Benny Golson...
