The Classic Albums 1953 - 1960 (2015)

This boxed set contains 11 original Oscar Pettiford albums, all beautifully remastered. Covering the period from 1953 when he released his first proper record as leader, The New Oscar Pettiford Sextet, through to his very final album, released posthumously in 1962, Last Recordings By The Late Great Bassist, this collection contains the great man s complete recorded output as leader and demonstrates the depth of Oscar Pettiford s extraordinary talent across his decorated but tragically short career. Featuring appearances from the likes of Lucky Thompson, Coleman Hawkins and Kenny Clarke, the music contained on these five discs will continue to delight old and new jazz fans alike.
