Cool Jazz & Bossa Nights: Late-1950s Jazz

Who is this collection for?

Best for a jazz collector who enjoys cool/mainstream and Latin-jazz variety; a few pop and novelty records ride along but aren't the draw.

Collection Overview

A strong late-1950s jazz set — cool and mainstream combos, third-stream (Modern Jazz Quartet & Orchestra), and Latin jazz (Mongo Santamaria's Sabroso) — anchored by top names like Oscar Peterson, Sarah Vaughan, Dave Brubeck, and Michel Legrand.
