For this project recorded in November 4 & 9, 1959, at Fine Recording in New York City, Quincy Jones assembled a large, top-tier big band. "The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones" comes at a time when Jones was establishing himself as arranger/conductor and shows he as a bandleader capable of bringing together great soloists in fresh arrangements. The tracks strengths is how Quincy Jones uses to arranger with distinctive voice: the album blends the energy and improvisational drive of bebop with the lush, layered textures and power of a large ensemble. A kind of polished professionalism balanced with adventurous soloists. The album confirm that at that time Quincy Jones had not just technical skill in arranging and bandleading, but real artistic maturity. Released in 1959, a momentous year for jazz in general - considering the seminal albums by Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman - "The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones" fits perfectly into the evolution of modern jazz: swing, big band tradition, and bebop complement Jones's broad musical sensibility.

Recorded on September 1, 1957 at Rudy Van Gelder's home studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and released in March 1958, "Sonny's Crib" is a jazz album released by Sonny Clark when he was just 25 years old. He had moved from Pittsburgh to the West Coast and then New York in the early to mid-1950s and he immersed himself in bebop and when he'll give his personal touch to the sounds emerging from the birthplace of hard bop. Albums from this period often featured "dream teams" of musicians and "Sonny's Crib" is a prime example. It's his second album as a leader (after "Dial "S" for Sonny") and the band it's notable because it features a fantastic lineup musicians as Sonny Clark himself, Donald Byrd, Curtis Fuller, Paul Chambers, Art Taylor and John Coltrane (in his pre-Blue Train period which was recorded just a few weeks later in 1957). The performance it's phenomenal, a true result of hard bop with some blues and modal elements: on "Sonny's Crib" Sonny Clark is real at the heart of the action. A recording that open the door to hard bop a must-have in the ideal jazz discography that show Clark become one of the best jazz piano talents of that period.

Although LPO Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis has appeared on previous LPO Label releases alongside other conductors, this marks the first major release devoted entirely to her work with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra has a rich legacy of compelling Tchaikovsky interpretations with Vladimir Jurowski and Vasily Petrenko. Karina now stands with this legacy in the seventh Tchaikovsky release on the LPO Label.

In this vibrant and colorful orchestral program from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Domingo Hindoyan, Chabrier's Espana opens proceedings. The composer's interest in Spain was most likely the result of his friendship with the artist Edouard Manet, whose paintings depicted Spanish themes. The conductor of the premiere was Charles Lamoureux who persuaded Chabrier to visit Spain in the summer of 1882. This work was the catalyst for French composers who followed to explore Spanish influences. Manual de Falla commented on Debussy's Iberia "Without knowing Spain, or without having set foot on Spanish ground," he noted, "Debussy has written Spanish music. He came to know Spain through books and paintings, through songs and dances performed by native Spaniards."

John Coltrane's 1961 masterpiece "My Favorite Things" famously reimagines the cheerful Broadway standard into a hypnotic, modal journey that served as a bridge between traditional jazz and his later avant-garde explorations. It stands as a landmark recording for being the first to showcase Coltrane on the soprano saxophone and for introducing the initial lineup of his legendary "Classic Quartet".

The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing. Coming of age at the dawn of the bebop era, Art Farmer rejected the mechanical playing that much of bebop seemed to encourage. Instead, Farmer became known for his warm, fluid tone, and his ability to make the trumpet sing like a tender yet stately baritone voice. On Modern Art (his last small group collaboration with Bill Evans, with whom he had first recorded in 1956), Art Farmer emphasises style over technique. The group swings with both authority and subtlety on all eight tracks, making this album one of the best records of this period.

From the "Jazz Masterpieces Best & More" series once released by EMI, 30 carefully selected works are being reissued on SHM-CD. None of the titles overlap with "Jazz Department Store" or "Everything Jazz"! - Universal. 2025.
