This set contains all 65 tracks included in the six albums Mose Allison recorded for Prestige Records (1957-1959). Be it a vocal solo, a piano chorus or an extended composition, Mose Allison’s work has one distinguishing characteristic—the complete absence of superfluous notes, frilly passages and gaudy backgrounds. In Mose’s own words, “I played around the Southwest and other places for years and the basic elements of my style were pretty well complete when I got to New York in 1956. I have tried to get a unit sound and I think we’re succeeding in that vein with the trio.” - From the liner notes
