Notes

Naxos attempt at making money from public domain jazz.
While not as bad as the usual pointless budget bundle that flourished so much, this is not as good as Verve (Early Years) or Classics (Chronological) productions, making this fit only for classical geeks who trust Naxos and don't know better...
