Some of the best work ever recorded by bassist Paul
Chambers – one of the greatest bass players in jazz! This excellent 3CD box set features the bulk of albums that Paul
Chambers recorded for Blue Note as a leader, plus an earlier gem recorded for the Imperial label, and another session for the Transition label. Together, the records give an incredible picture of
Chambers' work – showing why most jazz players of the 50s regarded him as one of the most important forces on his instrument, and why
Chambers had some unique talents that made him one of the few bassists to regularly record albums as a leader. Players on the albums include John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Donald Byrd, Clifford Jordan, Pepper Adams, and Curtis Fuller – and the albums include
Chamber's Music, Whims Of
Chambers, Paul
Chambers Quintet, Bass On Top, and Transition Session. 32 tracks in all!
(Please note that this set does not include the slipcover, 3 CDs in individual jewel cases with the booklet.)
