Customer Reviews

Blown away
What a great box set ,lots to relax too.Great tracks and yes uncut too.One for people trying jazz for the first time enjoy

Jazz needs more exposure
I'm giving this 5 stars in an attempt to bring the overall rating to a more realistic level (at the time of writing the low level is caused by McStick's particularly unhelpful and blinkered comments).

The tracks on this CD are classics of the jazz genre. The CD is a perfect introduction to the more mellow regions of the jazz world. As it is designed to accompany Classic FM's midnight show then I would say that it hits the spot perfectly in that regard too.

If you are a jazz lover then the chances are you will have most of these tracks in your collection already. If you are new to jazz - possibly introduced to it by the Classic FM show - then this seems to me to be an excellent CD to buy.

A question: why in the UK do we have two radio stations almost entirely dedicated to classical music and no jazz stations?
Bring back The Jazz!

Beautiful and relaxing...
We just love these CDs. They are both so beautiful and the all the songs here are so romantic and relaxing. Ideal for playing, when you have dinner parties. So many of our friends loved it.
