Title: music master indeed
Product review: it was easy for me to pigeonhole Carter when I was learning about jazz. He was not Johnny Hodges, not Charlie Parker, not a swing tenor (my favorite species). I took his reputation for granted, and didn't really get what the reality was. The shift started several years ago when I first acquired "April in my Heart" by Billie Holiday and an unbelievable group -- Lester Young AND Hershal Evans, Harry James. But it starts with a classic Carter solo. So from there I went to the Carter I already had, and then to this box set. Like all the other Proper sets I have (12 in total -- so far), this is priced right, fully annotated, and fabulous, in a word.
