2008 release. This edition contains Dexter Gordon's complete October 22, 1976 studio session. These are the very first recordings made by the tenor saxophonist upon returning to the U.S. after a 14-year exile in Europe. This is the first time that any of this material appears on CD! Six tracks.

Ike Quebec was one of the great tenor saxophonists to emerge from the swing era with a sound and drive that came straight from the early giants of the horn, Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. Like Webster, he had a multi-hued sound, with a thousand gradations from honk to gruff aside to breathy sweetness.

Recorded in 1960, Freddie Hubbard's Open Sesame is not only a very good CD: it dramatizes history in the making. The trumpeter was not unknown then, but he was still in his early years; so was pianist McCoy Tyner, for whom a momentous association with John Coltrane was just around the corner.

2009 two CD release, an impressive collection of studio sessions by the Duke Jordan Trio, recorded both in New York and Copenhagen. All brilliantly recorded, most of these sides are hard to find and three songs appear here on CD for the first time ever.

This collection presents the complete studio recordings made by the outstanding 1959 Dizzy Gillespie Quintet with Junior Mance and Les Spann. These recordings are also interesting in that, with the sole exception of Les Spann’s flute on a few tracks, no other horn is heard here but Dizzy`s trumpet. Included are the albums Have Trumpet, Will Excite and The Ebullient Mr.

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of complete early albums from the Jazz great: Abbey Is Blue and It's Magic. Featuring important jazzmen like Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson, Stanley Turrentine, Les Spann, Wynton Kelly, Cedar Walton, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones, and Lincoln's future husband, the great Max Roach.
