    Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions. 5no CD compilation.
    A beautifully crafted presentation box set of the collection of lp's from the 1950's "Clef" label, comprising a highly informative discography booklet describing personnel, tracks and dates etc., with bibliographies of the superb collection of musicians that Granz managed to bring together for these memorable dates. Each CD has reproductions from the vinyl lp covers that were illustrated by David Stone Martin, a ideal choice of illustrator of that time who with simple pen and ink drawings, captured the flavour of the whole Clef/ Granz session spirit. I had a incomplete set of these jam sessions as a student in the fifties and just about wore them out, as these records were pre Elvis, for they had the dynamic feeling that was 'in the air' in those heady days of pre rock n' roll. I marveled at the ability, enthusiasm and interplay of solos by some of the greatest jazz musicians ever,for their solos really had that 'feel good' feeling, which was exciting, uplifting and something to experience. This experience could be had at the time, in the series of world tours that the Granz stable took on tour at the time, known as JATP., or Jazz at the Philharmonic, and I had the good fortune to experience some of these concerts, so this set reminds me of a wonderful 'teen time' that was part of my youth. To have such luminaries as Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson, Johnny Hodges , Flip Philips Benny Carter, Stan Getz, Lional Hampton, etc., etc.,play off against each other is unique, and all credit to the man Granz for his work and achievement in doing what he enjoyed so much, and passing it on to us, and now Verve Records for this wonderful 2005 re issue, is a very great gift to us all!

    Great vocalist, Great Band, Cool CD
    Hard to get Ottilie on vinyl or CD, as she appeared only on guest appearances in Chris Barber concerts. Therefore, this compilation is a must for Ottie freaks!
