From Billie Holiday's soul-searching to Duke Ellington's Cotton Club, build the perfect jazz collection from this cream of the crop set of early recordings. Choose from:

There's New Orleans at its absolute peak with KING OLIVER and BESSIE SMITH.

BIX BEIDERBECKE injected a new romantic, wistful mood into jazz and JELLY ROLL MORTON was the finest pianist to come out of New Orleans, but it was LOUIS ARMSTRONG who emerged like a prophet, bearing influence on almost all of 20th Century music.

FLETCHER HENDERSON'S band led the way to the big band era, employing New York's best soloists including Coleman Hawkins. DUKE ELLINGTON'S most magnificent recordings from the late 'twenties are here, alongside COUNT BASIE - who's still as fresh 70 years on.

Finally, enjoy the wry, tender, vulnerability of BILLIE HOLIDAY and LESTER YOUNG.
