**** Down Beat:
�The group feeling is so strong on this LP that it will reach out and grab you. Manne has never sounded better. He is one drummer-leader who assumes the responsibilities of leading and the strength they require him to give, while never seeking to call undue attention to himself. This isstrongly recommended as excellent contemporary jazz captured in its lair. - Ira Gitler

This edition presents � for the first time ever on a single collection and in chronological order � all known recordings by the legendary Shelly Manne quintet with Joe Gordon and Richie Kamuca made at the Black Hawk, in San Francisco, during 1959. This was the first time Shelly Manne and His Men recorded in a live setting and the results were so astonishing that both the original producers and the members of the group felt the need to issue most of the music recorded during the three days of sessions on a four volume collection. All known music from the gig is contained on the current release.
