Composer, bandleader, and arranger Gerald Wilson compiled this 16-track selection of personal favorites, offering an excellent introduction to his Pacific Jazz recordings. During the four-year period (1961 through 1966) represented by this collection, numerous jazz greats passed through the ranks of Wilson's big band, including Harold Land, Teddy Edwards, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Joe Pass, and Roy Ayers.

Aerosmith's third album, 1975's Toys In The Attic, was the moment where they hit their stride and found the sound that would make them heroes of America's high school parking lots. Boasting top notch guitar riffing, enough swagger for a small nation, and a dash of humor that makes their sexual obsessions funny instead of creepy, this is a brilliant hard rock album whose influence would be felt for decades to come.
