HERBIE BROCK Listening to jazz records of rather unknown artists is like diggin' in an archeological site somewhere in the desert of Egypt; most of the times you push your spade on solid rock, or an empty grave. But now and then you find a little amulet, a silver fibula or maybe a golden death mask of some long forgotten farao. Some days ago I spaded my collection and played myself the forgotten album titled Brock's Top's ( the second apostrophe is missing on the cover) by the Herbie Brock trio. Whow, I heard some great piano jazz, with a steady rhythm section, wire brushes, and a solid bass; high qualified music - jazz-as-jazz-should-be, made by a seldon heard musician Herbie Brock, as if I founded an unopened grave. What a great piano player! Who can give me more info about Herbie Brock? Brock's Top's Keep swinging Durium

LES TRESORS DU JAZZ CD-56 January 1956. 1956 - 10 CD box Keep swinging Durium

LES TRESORS DU JAZZ Great music - all tracks are well chosen, well known standards, but also unknown releases, not selected because they are rare, but because they contain seldon heard great jazz. In short: A great selection, with, in my case, enough new material to justify this purchase.And for me very important: All boxes contain effective discographical information and commends in, both French as English. I can recommend this 1956 Les Tresors du Jazz box ( and the 4 previous "year" boxes that started with 1952 onwards ( all have 10 cd's, except 1952 that has 5 )) without any restriction for new jazz lovers and experienced jazz connoisseurs. 1956 - 10 CD box Keep swinging Durium
