"Although not normally a fan of compilations, I picked up this CD for 4.99 used, because I loved the title. The cover features photos of the albums from which the songs were selected; These covers in themselves are indeed Works of Art. What you will be listening to here is very high-quality jazz; from real artists, not money-makers. One Night in Houston is be-boppity/smooth; shows H-town's upside. Come to Find and If you Don't Want Me are bluesy renditions that complement the jazz flavors nicely. Mirror Puzzle is a tour-de-force for Akagi, sublime in texture: sounds like mirrors. I intend to purchase Works of Art both 1 and 2, in hopes of even more enjoyment."
