It didn't hurt that Love and Other Obsessions rose above a string of very pedestrian releases leading up to it. While the song selections are hit or miss (there are several tracks I either love or hate), the highs far outweigh the lows. Check out my review of this CD to see if its something you should add to your Jazz collection.

It's a good one, but I'll give you a hint about my 80's choice: it's not Point of View.

They have a couple of "greatest hits" CDs that are worth getting if you have nothing.One bonus is they do a good job of remastering the old stuff when they create the compilation.
