The complete long unavailable original Columbia 4-LP set The Fletcher Henderson Story -A Study in Frustration. This was the first LP collection to compile the best works of a Fletcher Henderson who, by the early 1960s, had fallen into obscurity. Even though his recording career spanned over 25 years and his many bands included some of the most outstanding jazzmen ever, his name would only be brought up during later years in reference to his hit-arrangements for the Benny Goodman Orchestra, while his individual importance has been largely forgotten. This set puts together all of the masterpieces present on the original collection, as well as ten bonus tracks featuring Ben Webster, Chu Berry and Roy Eldridge with the Henderson band.
