Review 1
This eight-CD collection celebrates Young's genius by assembling every studio recording he made for Verve founder and producer Norman Granz's various labels- beginning with a 1946 trio date on which Nat "King" Cole plays piano and Buddy Rich plays drums on, and concluding with a 1959 Paris session that proved to be Young's last. It includes memorable encounters with O Peterson, T. Wilson and John Lewis |
