Avid’s two-CD sets with, as here, four LPs included are fine introductions to an artist’s work showing them in different settings.

This one begins with Kenny both singing (not bad) and playing trumpet (better), then in quiet mood and finally on two albums with the fiery Jackie McLean. With support including pianists Cedar Walton, Tommy Flanagan, Walter Bishop Jr and Bobby Timmons you really can’t go wrong. avidgroup.co.uk
