Query: Finally! A compilation worthy of Sammy's tremendous talent!

Though there are certainly a number of tracks that perhaps could have been replaced with more high energy songs, the compilation as a whole is a wonderful conglomeration of swinging songs. "bye bye blackbird" both live and studio, "begin the beguine" "too close for comfort"...there all here. hopefully this signals the end of the cds that limit sammy's audience to played out versions of "i gotta be me" and "mr. bojangles." especially rewarding is the fourth cd, a compilation of live songs from several different performances. that one cd alone is worth the price of the whole set. NOTE: if you do purchase this cd (and it is well worth the money) you wont need to purchase the "sounds of 66 with buddy rich," unless you are a die-hard sammy fan (and that would be quite commendable)because many of the tracks have been put onto the 4th cd of live tracks. if you do end up buying this cd......ENJOY!
