They Say...
The Very Best of Prestige: Prestige 60th Anniversary collects 25 tracks from one of the most influential independent jazz labels of the 20th century. Boasting legendary performances by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins, Modern Jazz Quartet, Charles Earland, Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy, and John Coltrane, you're assured the title of the compilation is not an exaggeration. A well-chosen primer collection for the jazz novice and a great sounding disc for completists and jazz fanatics.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
