Review of 25 Best: Jazz Legends (Spkg)

This is not a bad compilation for the price I paid. Just $6.99 at Zellers. The recordings sound like they are remasters from the original vinyls. It's actually pretty good and an awesome example is the track Woodchopper's Ball on disc one. The bass is so heavy and there's a good live type echo in the track. Makes the track more explosive! Some of the vocal jazz tracks sound kind of creepy too. I love it!

There's a couple odd things about this disc. Why the heck is George Benson on this compilation mixed with all these other older jazz icons? He does have a good track on here, that happens to be 14 minutes long! Also, the title is misleading since Billie Holiday is on here twice so it's really 24 Best Jazz Legends.

The packaging comes in this "Eco-Friendly" digipak type thing where it folds out from the bottom up. It almost looks like a wooden box. Weird. Overall this is a pretty good compilation for the price you pay.
