Hard Bop Meets the World: Early-1960s Jazz & Global Sounds

Who is this collection for?

Best for a serious jazz collector, especially one who also values the era's African/Caribbean and world-jazz crossover records; several titles here (Jazz Samba, Interplay) are genuinely notable finds.

Collection Overview

An excellent, collector-grade set centered on early-1960s jazz (Bill Evans's Interplay, Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd's landmark Jazz Samba, Brubeck, Mulligan/Desmond), distinguished by a strong African and Caribbean crossover thread (Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Olatunji's Drums of Passion, Ernest Ranglin).
