Jazz Classics (CD)
Product Details
Atlantic Records built its jazz identity in the 1950s and '60s by signing artists that major labels overlooked or misunderstood, giving Ornette Coleman space to detonate free jazz, Coltrane room to reimagine standards, and Charles Mingus a home for compositions that defied easy categorization. The depth of talent collected here reflects just how central one label was to a defining chapter in American music.
This is just one of the hit-packed, value-priced collections being released in celebration of the Atlantic label's historic 50th anniversary. Highlights include "Sweet Sixteen Bars" by Ray Charles, "Ramblin'" by Ornette Coleman, "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane, "Comin' Home Baby" by Herbie Mann, "The Golden Striker" by the Modern Jazz Quartet and much more by Art Blakey with Thelonious Monk, David "Fathead" Newman, Charles Mingus, Mose Allison, Roland Kirk and others!
