Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars great introduction to a master.......2002-12-22

this is an excellent 2cd set (especially disc 2). selections cover his entire recording career: performances with the basie band, the kansas city 6, billie holiday, nat king cole, charlie christian, etc. my only criticism is that there is no discographical info beyond tune titles and writers, and that's a drag if you're not familiar with the groups and people he played with. lester played great blues and disc 2 contains a generous sampling of that genre: 'back to the land', 'midnight symphony', 'd.b. blues', 's.m. blues', 'ax-o-bebop' to name a few.
