Excellent compilation that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the German Jazz label MPS. 18 tracks in all. Mainly from the 60’s/ 70’s, there are some superb music including Don Ellis’ fiery ‘The Devil Made Me Write This Piece’, George Duke’s funky ‘Au Right’, Elvin Jones’ modal themed ‘Little Lady’ and Freddie Hubbard’s lovely Blues For Duane’. There are also more recent pieces from Nicola Conte, Malia and China Moses.
