Kenny Clarke - The Complete Albums Collection (4 CD, 2022) [FLAC]


 This four-disc set compiles much of Kenny Clarke’s finest work, including as it does all albums on which he performed as leader or co-leader. While only covering the period during which he performed under his own name, the collection serves as a fine starting point to the work of this maverick jazz pioneer and a delightful reminder of the great man’s most accomplished music.
