In 2006 King records brought out Earl Bostic's 14 Greatest Hits, an exact reissue of this label's 1990 release All His Hits. The recordings within, made anywhere from July 1946 to July 1964, epitomize Bostic's lively and robust approach to popular music in general and to the alto saxophone in particular.
