Among the highlights are a fantastic flute/piano duet by Lateef and Barron playing the pianist's beautiful ballad "A Flower", as well as extended readings of the classic "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" (which Lateef recorded just one more time in 1971), Lateef's blues "Yusef's Mood" and Barron's "The Untitled." This project, produced by the renowned Zev Feldman, is released with the full collaboration of the Yusef Lateef Estate, as well as those of the other artists involved.

Audio transferred from the original stereo tape reels and mastered by Matthew Lutthans at the Mastering Lab. Recently found in the Kongsberg Jazz Festival archives, it was widely believed that this concert had not been recorded, and as such it doesn't appear on any of the Bill Evans discographies! Featuring Eddie Gomez on bass and Marty Morell on drums.

Limited two CD set includes an extensive booklet with rare photos, liner notes and an archival interview with Sonny Stitt. Boppin' In Baltimore: Live at the Left Bank is a previously unreleased recording of saxophone master Sonny Stitt captured live at the famous ballroom in Baltimore on November 11, 1973. Recorded by Left Bank founder Vernon Welsh, it features an all-star rhythm section of pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes.

Saxophonist and composer James Brandon Lewis possesses an inspiring energy. His deep curiosity and the thrill he gets from discovery are crucial facets of his personality, and qualities that guide his art. Over the last half-decade he's emerged as one of the most exciting figures in jazz and improvised music, a voracious listener who rejects stylistic hierarchies and one that has feverishly explored new ideas and embraced fresh motivations with every new project. Inspired by molecular biology James Brandon develops a special system for a surprising and beautiful music with his Quartet with drummer Chad Taylor, pianist Aru�n Ortiz, and bassist Brad Jones. He has taken the idea of a "Molecular Systematic Music" to heart in the formulation of the compositions featured on the stunning debut album by this quartet.

In March 2011 when the 2-CD set '75 Glenn Miller Masterpieces' (SEPIA1165) was created by combining a keepsake album of some of his finest broadcast performances, 'For the Very First Time', with a dozen choice tracks from two landmark "Limited Edition" anthologies, fans were delighted. Now, in response to requests from around the world, Sepia happily gathers the remaining 80 wonderful air checks from both "Limited Edition" sets for this new 3 CD package. This fabulous collection, lovingly presented in remastered sound and with original artwork and other archival images, adds the production history and little-known trivia about the "Limited Edition" albums, plus a discography which corrects many names, dates, or other details.

This CD combines the 1962 LP 'Teresa Brewer's Greatest Hits', an album of stereo re-recordings of her Top Ten hits from the 1950s, and 'Don't Mess with Tess', an album of standards, all on CD for the first time. Teresa Brewer was a popular artist of the 1950s and 1960s who sold millions of records. Of the eight Top Ten hits Teresa scored in the 1950s including two chart-toppers ("Music, Music, Music" and "Till I Waltz Again with You") all were recorded in mono. She re-recorded seven in stereo for her "Greatest Hits" album in 1962 and amazingly that album has never been on CD until now. Also featured on this CD is 'Don't Mess with Tess', another stereo album making it's CD debut in which Teresa sings standards. Four bonus tracks from singles have been added and are all re-mastered and in stereo.

Even a hundred years after his birth, Charles Mingus is still labelled as an artistic genius and the "angry man" of jazz, an uncompromising fighter against racial segregation and for unconditional truthfulness in his music, but who was also mentally unstable, could not control his emotions and often became violent enough in his anger. This image is confirmed by the circumstances of the world premiere of Mingus' "opus magnum", the two-hour suite "Epitaph" on 12 October 1962 in New York's Town Hall, which has long since become a myth in jazz history. Due to the short notice and rehearsal period, the performance itself fell short of the composer's artistic standards. As a result, Mingus asked the audience to leave the hall during the interval and offered to refund their entrance fee, which led to riots in the street outside the concert hall and ultimately forced the police to intervene. After that, Charles Mingus abandoned the attempt to realize "Epitaph" and it was not until the mid-1980s, after the musicologist Andrew Homzy discovered the music notes of the piece in Mingus' estate and, together with Gunther Schuller reconstructed it, that this masterpiece was premi�red in 1989. At the finale of the "Musikfest Berlin" 2022, the musicians of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and their BigBand performed "Epitaph" as a tribute to the 100th birthday of Charles Mingus. Under the energetic baton of Titus Engel, the musicians of the BigBand and the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Jazzinstitut Berlin explore the realms of expression of dark threat, profound songfulness, conflict and ecstasy with irrepressible joy of playing and remarkable clarity. Star trumpeter Randy Brecker let's his wonderfully clear tone clear tone soar to the highest heights.

'Don Cherry, more than any other artist in the jazz of his era, pioneered the music's internationalist nature that has now come to be commonly accepted as an integral part of it's character. The individuality of Cherry's contribution to the history of jazz has often been unfairly obscured by his admittedly important association with the music of Ornette Coleman. While the (pocket) trumpeter's position as Coleman's front line partner in the altoist's first revolutionary quartet was indeed a major one, Cherry's role as one of the founders of the genre that is known today as 'world music' is equally significant. - Russ Musto Featured Artists Don Cherry-trumpet Gato Barbieri-sax Karl Berger-vibes Aldo Romano-drums Bo Steif-bass.
