This Is Jazz, Vol. 24 (1997)

About this title: Featuring 16 tracks taken from his various Herds of the mid-'40s and mid-'60s, Woody Herman's volume in the This Is Jazz is a solid collection of his best-known songs, including "Woodchopper's Ball," "Northwest Passage," "Bijou" and "Four Brothers." It's obviously designed for neophyte listeners wishing to get a small look at Herman's legacy. At that task, it succeeds. John Bush, All Music Guide
