These four discs collect the material on six long plays of trios and solos that Oscar Peterson recorded in Villingen, Germany, between 1963 and 1968. On standards galore,
Peterson never lets up in his rigorous, swinging approach. He is at his prime on these recordings, as he himself noted later. The improvisations range from extraordinary to awe-inspiring.
The lyricism of Nat King Cole is in there, along with Art Tatum-esque rococoisms and Bud Powell-like attack. Which partners best complemented Peterson's girth, and bowed to it least,
is always in dispute. On six tracks here, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen lay claim against the earlier Brown-Herb Ellis unit.](http://www.ionone.com/muspeterson00.gif)

Charles Mingus's Atlantic recordings represent the first full realization of his immensely original talent, pressing the boundaries to create an ever more fluent, expressive music.
While his contemporaries moved in various directions--third stream, soul, free jazz--Mingus seemed to embrace them all. His creative energy is already apparent in his first Atlantic session,
a quintet from 1956 with saxophonists Jackie McLean and J.R. Monterose. The sudden tempo shifts of Pithecanthropus Erectus introduce a new turbulence, while the programmatic sound effects of A Foggy Day stretch the sonic limits. Mingus's bass is an ever more expressive instrument as well, driving the different ensembles to greater heights, with the explosive Haitian Fight Song among the early masterpieces here.](http://www.ionone.com/musmingus00.gif)

During his lifetime it became difficult to separate Chet Baker's music from the sad legend he became; a textbook case of psychological disconnectedness. At the beginning of his career his matinee idol looks sometimes distracted audiences from his musical gifts. Thereafter, his drug addiction overshadowed nearly every move he made, making his artistic impulses somehow suspect. This two-disc anthology sets the record straight, dividing the recordings into his trumpet playing and his singing. The former has always been justly lauded. His cool phrasing on the trumpet was always known to draw forth emotional resonance from the simplest of melodies. His talented singing is showcased in such a way to present how his voice could resonant the same emotional stirrings as his trumpet work. With his biography presented with brief but poetic insight, this set is a perfect portrait of the man. --David Greenberger](http://www.ionone.com/musbaker00.gif)

Reviewer: A music fan
This is what we needed - a comprehensive box set spanning Goodman's most creative years and including tracks from RCA and Columbia. Who else but JSP Records to take this on. Now the criticism. Like all JSP box sets it is bare bones, not much in the way of liner notes, history. No musician line up, recording dates. But that's OK we expect that from JSP and purchase recordings from them for the quality of the product.](http://www.ionone.com/musgoodman00.gif)
