Al meer dan 50 jaar is Jan Akkerman een van de beste en bekendste  gitaristen van Nederland. Naast een bepalende rol in wereldwijd bekende  bands als Focus en Brainbox heeft hij ook gewerkt met artiesten als B.B.  King, Charlie Byrd, Cozy Powell, Claus Ogerman & Ice-T. Op zijn  solo-platen laat Akkerman zijn creativiteit de vrije loop en combineert  hij met gemak Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classics & Dance terwijl zijn  karakteristieke sound altijd herkenbaar blijft. In deze boxset zijn al  zijn studio-albums verzameld, naast de belangrijkste live-opnamen, zijn  persoonlijke Focus-favorieten en een album met zeldzaam en niet eerder  uitgebracht materiaal.
