Review:

"In 1966 - two years after Riverside, the important label that he had co-founded and helped run, folded - Orrin Keepnews started a new venture. Right from the beginning, Milestone managed to compile a very impressive roster of artists.

The 11 tracks from the Milestone vaults included on this disc span 1966-1979 and feature artists like Thad Jones, Wynton Kelly, Joe Henderson, Sonny Rollins, and Lee Konitz playing mostly straight-ahead hard bop. A few of the highlights are McCoy Tyner playing with strings on his epic "Song of the New World" from 1973, a relaxed duet between Jim Hall and Ron Carter on "St. Thomas," and a great track from Sonny Rollins' 1972 comeback record. Five tracks are also included from the archives of the Galaxy label, a label that kept a lot of giants like Chet Baker, Art Pepper, and Nat Adderley in the studio and on record. The five tracks are from the years 1977-1980 and prove that good straight-ahead jazz was not dead; you just had to know where to look for it.

Although not as essential as other sets that features all the artists in their prime, this collection is still solid."
