The three-CD set gives a superb picture of Tommy's playing in a variety of contexts; the first disc, to me, is the prize, with hot sides from the start of his career (here we see Sudhalter's knowledge at work), then a disc of somewhat standard but refreshing Victor sides, including a few hits which still sound wonderful; the closing disc (which I haven't gotten to) is live material, some with that Sinatra fellow. It's a very satisfying collage. Does it include everything good TD recorded for Victor? No, and that would be impossible -- but for what it is, it is superb.
