4-CD BOX SET IN DE-LUXE CARDBOARD SLEEVE. SPECIAL PACKAGING FOR COLLECTORS
6 complete LPs, a never before released concert (only previously available on Head on Fire - HOF 72) and more !
Fronted by Art Farmer and Benny Golson, the Jazztet was one of the best jazz combos during its three-year existence, from 1959 to 1962. Although their recordings are much revered now, they never obtained enough commercial success to maintain the group. According to All Music Guide critic Scott Yanow, “the Jazztet – along with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and Horace Silver’s quintet – was the definitive hard bop combo. Benny Golson’s compositions and arrangements gave the sextet a personal sound and a consistently fresh repertoire, the rhythm section (despite many changes in personnel) always swung steadily and the soloists were distinctive and inventive.”
This release consists every know recording by the Jazztet fronted by Farmer and Golson. It consists of their 6 complete studio LPs (presented in chronological
order):
• Meet the Jazztet (Argo LP 664)
• Big City Sounds (Argo LP 672)
• The Jazztet and John Lewis (Argo LP 684)
