"This is probably the best inroduction to Ray Brown's "Concord Years" and it is a great value as well! There are eleven tracks from eleven different albums spanning from 1974 - 1990. He performs with Monty Alexander, Herb Ellis, Gene Harris, Ralph Moore, and many others. Sound quality is excellent! Don't pass on this one!!"
