The Birth of Bop is a collection celebrating the enduring legacy of Savoy Records Bop catalog spanning 1944-1949. Presented on 5x 10" Vinyl with audio restoration by Joe Tarantino and new liner notes by GRAMMY®-winning writer and broadcaster Neil Tesser. The set Includes 30 tracks from such jazz legends as Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Milt Jackson, Allen Eager, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis.

I've got to be honest with you, folks — I actually teared up a bit when I opened this package, upon taking out the first disc and realizing the records were packed in a simple brown paper inner-sleeve akin to the kind of sleeves that existed back in the 1940s and 1950s for housing 10-inch records... the brown sleeves here are really a nice touch, underscoring the fact that the producers of The Birth of Bop box set are thoughtful, knowing, and understanding of the record collector's mindset. The vinyl pressings herein — from GZ in the Czech Republic, reportedly one of the only facilities that still manufactures 10-inch LPs — are excellent. These standard-weight black vinyl discs are very quiet, and they sound terrific. And, yes, they are well-centered. Again, these lovely little LPs are likely to be far superior to an original edition of The Birth of Bop, even if you happen to have access to a truly mint condition copy... the bottom line is this — if you love classic jazz and bebop in particular, and you want to experience this important music in a manner close to what it might have been like in the early 1950s, The Birth of Bop is an absolute essential must-have for your vinyl collection.
