An excellent set that brings together Fats Navarro's recordings for Savoy – late 40s sides that were always poorly packaged and annotated on record, which are compiled here wonderfully, with great notes, and a few unissued tracks! Players include Leo Parker, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Stitt, Ernie Henry, Tadd Dameron, Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey, and Charlie Rouse – and the set's got a huge amount of titles, including "Boppin A Riff", "
Fat Boy", "Everything's Cool", "Webb
City", "Fracture", "Calling Dr Jazz", "Red Pepper", "Spinal", "
Fat Girl", "Ice Freezes Red", "A Bebop Carol", and "The Tadd Walk".
(Mid 70s issue. Cover has minimal wear and a promo stamp.)
