Deluxe five CD set containing all known recordings by Shelly Mann & His Men at the Black Hawk. This edition presents - for the first time ever on a single collection and in chronological order - all known recordings by the legendary Shelly Manne quintet with Joe Gordon and Richie Kamuca made at the Black Hawk, in San Francisco during 1959. This was the first time Shelly Manne and His Men recorded in a live setting and the results were so astonishing that both the original producers and the members of the group felt the need to issue most of the music recorded during the three days of sessions on a four volume collection. All known music from the gig is contained on this set.
Black Hawk, San Francisco, September 22 ,23 & 24, 1959.
