This is one of the best of the Proper Boxes. You get a comprehensive survey of jazz guitar up to 1960, in good transfers, with a fat booklet which is almost worth the price on its own. The set would also make a good introduction to jazz generally.

This is good jazz but its supposed to FEATURE jazz guitarists.In "The mooche" (what a great record) you just cant hear the guitar!Rather mislabled but a good box set.Not being a fan of Be-Bop disc 4 is my least favourite but "one mans meat is another mans poison" they say ,so others may prefer that to Eddie Lang and Lonnie Johnson.This shows the range of this box set.

I am totally contented with the CD set and certainly with the service that I've got! With the first shipment one CD was missing (mistake made by the factory), but within a few days I got a new CD set that was complete. That was really great!
