Expressive, engaging, virtuosic, challenging, energetic or dynamic - all the adjectival attributes of jazz perfection are here, each track fit to rank with the best in their category.
We've called this compilation 'Perfect Jazz' for that's just what we think it is, especially as it presents examples of the genre which show off the music's greatest practitioners at their creative best.
