The Private Collection is a live album by the American jazz bassist Charlie Haden's Quartet West recorded at performances in 1988 and 1989 and released on the Naim label.[1]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Although one would not have necessarily predicted this direction for Charlie Haden's music in 1970, it has worked out quite well. This well-recorded two-fer features Haden's Quartet West at its best".[2] All About Jazz observed "The Private Collection finds Haden and Quartet West at its true best, with material spanning four decades but still sounding, twenty years later, as if it had been written yesterday".[3]
