Progressions: 100 Years Of Jazz Guitar (2005) CD Set
This set of CD's purchased used on ebay for $11.93 was a good deal but I would not pay the much higher price I see it going for around $35 range. The audio quality is definitely not top notch. The disc1 songs are from a much earlier time so the lower sound quality is expected but as the years of the music increase the sound quality does increase but even the most recent songs on disc4 are not the best hi-fi quality. It almost seems that the CD's were made not from true master tapes of the time, but from lower quality source materials from MP3 or something. That's my rating of the "Sound Quality" for the audiophiles out there. For the artists and musicians songs, I would rate it 4 stars.
This CD set is just a phenominal stroll thru the history of the greatest jazz and blues guitaists on their best tracks. I am so happy with this set as it has opened my eyes to so many more legendary and influential guitarists.
This set is great. It provides actual examples of the phases jazz guitar has evolved through from the early 1900's to the present day. I particularly liked the booklet that came with the CD's. Among other things, it contains a brief thumbnail history of the artists who's works were chosen to be included on the CD's
