Essential Jazz Albuns

This release presents some of the most impressive Ben Webster sessions from the fifties, showcasing his romantic side and his full and warm sound on beautiful ballads. Originally compiled on a classic 2LP set titled BALLADS, this music presents Webster accompanied here by old friends like Billy Strayhorn, Teddy Wilson and Jimmy Hamilton.

This album presents the complete 1957 Ella Fitzgerald At The Opera House, including both the stereo and mono LP versions, which were, in fact, different concerts - one recorded at the Opera House in Chicago and the other at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Ella is backed by a truly star-studded band which includes Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, Jo Jones, Roy Eldridge, J.J.

This CD compiles, for the first time ever, the complete Stan Getz and J.J. Johnson at the Opera House 1957 album, including all of the tracks recorded at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium with the same personnel a week later.

Expanded reissue of the complete classic 1956 album The Swinging Miss D, which reunited the vocalist with the arranging talents of Mr. Q himself, Quincy Jones. As a bonus, all of the other tunes from the same sessions (tracks 12 to 14), as well as seven Jazz standards from one of their 1955 dates have been added.

Originally released in 1957, Just One Of Those Things has become a standout title in the Nat King Cole library because the theme is comparable to Frank Sinatra's swing albums of the same time period and employs the same arranger and conductor, Billy May. The reissue of this classic was mixed and mastered by Steve Hoffman from the original three-track session masters.

2009 release containing all of Barney Kessel and Hampton Hawes' recorded small group collaborations without horns. Contains the classic 1958 quartet album Four! in its entirety, plus two extra tracks not included on the original LP, and a complete quintet session adding Victor Feldman on vibes.

This release contains two outstanding consecutive albums in their entirety presenting Milt Jackson in the company of jazz stars such as Coleman Hawkins, Benny Golson, Art Farmer and Kenny Burrell. Tommy Flanagan is the pianist and Connie Kay is the drummer throughout all of these swinging tracks.
