Originally compiled in 1995, this standard resource is now available at about half the price and in a slimmer package, with the individual CDs in slipcases rather than the previous boxes-within-the-box and its voluminous booklet re-set in a smaller font. It appears to be all there, except that page 69 is repeated and page 68 is missing. Alongside the historically significant Giant Steps and My Favourite Things, there's the large body of material done at the same period as the latter, much of which first appeared posthumously. But there are also the ‘all-star’ sets, such as The Avant-Garde (Coltrane replacing Ornette in Ornette's quartet), Olé (with Trane's group supplemented by Dolphy and Hubbard – a sort of Africa/Brass session without the brass, and done the same week as that project) and the more conventional Bags & Trane with Milt Jackson, which opens the batting. The big bonus, apart from the alternate takes released in the 1970s, is the final CD of incomplete and rehearsal takes unissued until 1995, which enables you to follow the entire recorded development of ‘Giant Steps’ and four others.
