"Despite nearly five decades (from 1960 to present) of musical activity, Bunky Green's meager discography consists of no more than 32-separate sessions. Green's discography can be divided into two separate periods: his emergence in Chicago (22 recordings from 1960-1967), and his reemergence in New York (10 recordings from 1976-2004). This edition showcases his finest recordings from the earlier Chicago period." - from the liner notes
