Named for greatness, and so much greater than his name, the Purple One is and always will be the best. This set celebrates his unparalleled songwriting prowess, lining up ten top notch interpretations by some of the greatest names in jazz. Opening with Nina Simone's jazz-funk cover of "Sign O' The Times", this LP is already worth the entry fee, but as you hear the likes of Clotilde Rullard, Herbie Hancock and Osunlade enjoy their own moment in the purple spotlight, you'll be glad you copped a copy.
