Customer Reviews:

Very good package (10 October 2008)
It is a very good package and after looking for it for a while (and finding it) I am very happy with it. Excellent music in a no frills offer!

amazing (04 December 2007)
Bought this for myself, and my 16 year old son and his mate have borrowed it and play it all the time, they think it's 'really cool'. Just shows good music has appeal for all age ranges.

Bargain? Understatement of the Year!!! (01 December 2007)
To call this a bargain is a massive understatement. I'm a recent newcomer to jazz, and decided I'd dip my toe in the Charlie Parker ocean with this, having read previous reviews. It was an absolute gem of a discovery. Having gone through a couple of sessionographies, here's what you're actually getting here... (Might not be 100% accurate, but it's close enough!)

Novice learning! (11 August 2007)
Again thanks for earlier reviews. As a new recruit the the realms of jazz, this has just been an excellent pack at a price that let's you take the risk. Just a pity that there are no sleeve notes apart from the basic track lists. Still...

Fantastic Value! (05 July 2007)
First of all I would like to thank the first reviewer because it was this review which persuaded me to buy this box set. I have always been a great admirer of Charlie Parker and I was on the look out for a decent box set of his music. When I saw this 10cd set at this incredibly low price, I thought, "Too good to be true", well that old cliche' "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" applies in this case. This cd set has to be the bargain of the century and the sound is good quality too. Buy it! You just cannot go wrong.
