Great selection

"This is a great selection of albums if you love modal jazz from the 60s period, which may have been the pinnacle period in jazz in my opinion ( even though I wasn't around at the time).
Wayne Shorter was earning his stripes along with Herbie Hancock back then, and these albums are a great addition to any collection from that period, and sit nicely alongside Miles Davis's Kind of Blue; John Coltrane's Blue Train]; and Herbie Hancock's'[[ASIN:B00000IL29 Maiden Voyage.
Wayne Shorter actually was part of Miles Davis's outfit at the time, and went on to form the experimental fusion jazz outfit 'Weather Report' in the 1970s, but these albums serve as testimony that he was a force in jazz before his work in Fusion, and this is the jazz sound that he has revisited in recent years.
I recommend this box set to jazz collectors and beginners alike, it certainly won't disaapoint!"
