5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz for every category of jazz lovers 25 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
I got this recently , and was impressed with the collections diversity. What more can you ask for compiled by two specialists in the genre of the jazzy dance .Veteran Giles Peterson and West Germany's finest mixmen Jazzanova.Side 1 is more traditional with classics including Donald Byrd, Roy Haines,Mark Murphy to John Coltrane, this is classic Giles Peterson's colection. Disc 2 is Jazzanova's cutting edge choice of nu jazz grooves remaining pretty cool sleek and downtempoe with choice offerings featuring Two Banks and four a classic from japan's UFO and 4 hero offering my favourites. Whatever your choice of jazz there should be something here for you whether it's the grooves and base of Roy Haines , or the seductive Horns of Coltranes Equinox or the laid back jazz electronica of 4 hero. Even if you are one of these people who instantly say. I DON'T LIKE JAZZ !because if that's the case I'm sure you'll be crossing over once you've heard this collection of kings.Forget the dodgy CD cover just listen to the content.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal 25 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
This double CD compilation is one of the best purchases you will ever make. The first CD sees Gilles Peterson doing what he does best and digging through his extensive record collection in order to route out some sensational Jazz classics in the History section of the compilation Cristo Redentor by Donald Byrd starts the compilation with some lovely harmonies progressing into some classic Mingus and Coltrane. The second of the two parts is Compiled by Jazzanova and features songs from "The Present" kicking off with the beautiful sounds of 4hero and also featuring a live rendition of Bembe Segue's "Mother Of The Future".

4.0 out of 5 stars THESE KINGS WERE PIONEERS 24 Jan 2011
By Barry McCanna TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
1. Countless Blues - Freddie Green & Eddie Durham (Kansas City Six)
2. Profoundly Blue - Charlie Christian (Edmond Hall Celeste Quartet)
3. Ain't Misbehavin' - Django Reinhardt
4. Solo Flight - Charlie Christian (Benny Goodman Orch)
5. Swing Out Rhythm - Lonnie Johnson
6. Honeysuckle Rose - Charlie Christian
7. Fun On The Frets - Tony Mottola & Carl Kress
8. I Never Knew - Charlie Christian
9. Blue Guitars - Lonnie Johnson & Eddie Lang
10. Way Down Yonder In New Orleans- Freddie Green & Eddie Durham (KC6)
11. Pickin' My Way - Carl Kress & Eddie Lang
12. Buck Jumpin' - Al Casey (Fats Wallewr)
13. Swing Guitars - Django Reinhardt
14. Four Or Five Times - Teddy Bunn (Jimmy Noone & his Orch)
15. Running Wild - Django Reinhardt
16. Rose Room - Charlie Christian (BG6)

This is a very nice compilation, and includes solos, duets and ensembles (although you wouldn't guess that from the details available under the MP3 download). The musicians were all pioneers of jazz guitar, none more so than Eddie Lang who, it's believed, led the switch from banjo when electrical recording came in, and Charlie Christian, who introduced the electric guitar (not altogether an unmitigated blessing!)

It dates from 1995, when a running time of less than hour was the norm, but it's let down by the lack of any background information. I'd like to give it five stars to counter-balance the absurd two "awarded" by another reviewer, but that would be leaning too far the other way.
