When we started out to re-examine the Vanguard Jazz Showcase series — a passion project, to be honest, dating back years — we knew it would take more than one set to do justice to the best recordings of the series from 1953-1958.
Our dedication proved to be worthwhile. The reaction to our first 7-CD set featuring small groups, released just a few months ago, has won universal acclaim.
One writer pointed out that past reissues presented sessions in incomplete collections that were “cherry-picked,” “randomly compiled,” and contained “inaccurate information.” Others wrote that our set was “essential,” “quite special and historic,” and a “must purchase.” And there was widespread acclaim for the “contagious joy” of this music, only some of which has been compiled in the CD era and much of which has been buried in the vaults since the original 10-inch vinyl discs were issued as long as 70 years ago.
With the excitement over our first set featuring small groups confirmed, we’re delighted to present our second collection featuring pianists in solo dates, as leaders, or as prime contributors.
