Among the most versatile and hard-working drummers in jazz, Shelly Manne performed in just about every style and sub-genre within the entire idiom in his lifetime. During a career that spanned more than 45 years, Manne indulged in Dixieland, swing, bebop, avant-garde, Third Stream and jazz fusion, among other styles, and appeared on the soundtracks to hundreds of films and television programs. He also featured on the albums of a wide array of other legendary musicians, including those by Chet Baker, Ornette Coleman, Benny Carter, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, John Lewis, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Kenton, Oliver Nelson and Frank Sinatra. It is generally accepted however that Shelly Manne's finest work and playing appeared while leading his own bands, most notably during the early years of his solo career. This four CD collection, containing nine original records, collates the finest of Shelly Manne's early studio output as bandleader. Featuring more than five hours of faithfully-restored and remastered music, this set is the perfect tribute to a musician whose work remains a blueprint for those who believe that every style has room for development, change and, when appropriate, radicalisation.
