Even today, twenty years after he passed away, Miles Davis is the first name that comes to mind, when one thinks of Jazz. Oscar Emmanuel Peterson simply was one of the best and most beloved Jazz-pianists of all time, an influential player with deep roots in boogie-woogie and ragtime who lent his talented touch to everything from Swing to Bebop and even Pop.     John Coltrane was arguably the most influential saxophonist in modern Jazz. A deeply spiritual person, musician, and composer, a ceaseless innovator, a creative searcher and a searching creator from Bebop through Modal Jazz and into the Free Jazz Avantgarde. One of the greatest and most influential Jazz trumpeters of all time, the man born as John Birks Gillespie on October 21st 1917 in Cheraw, South Carolina, was a true American Idol. As one of the founding fathers of Bebop, the man known as "Dizzy" was also a life-long ambassador of Jazz.     As an exclusive feature, this box comes along with a 72-page booklet with essays and track-by-track comments of all songs.
