Album Review
"First Steps" compiles some iconic early recordings by such legendary bebop masters as alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Miles Davis, and tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins. While these tracks are available elsewhere, this is still a nice budget-priced introduction to these landmark recordings. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
