Bebop: Pioneers and Classic Performances 1941-1949

This 70-track 3-CD set comprises the complete contents, plus some added titles, of three products released in our ACRCD range more than fifteen years ago, and which offered the opportunity to assemble a nicely coherent, substantial and enhanced 3-CD product at a lower price than the three single CDs combined. Those products were ACRCD 117, 118 & 119 'Bebop Vols. 1, 2 & 3'.
