Released June 3rd, Concord Music Group presents part
five of its historic reissues series the ‘Keepnews
Collection’, which spotlights classic albums by jazz titans put on the map
by the legendary producer Orrin Keepnews.
The Keepnews Collection
serves jazz aficionados who are looking to add to their collections as well as
jazz neophytes who have caught the jazz bug and long to delve deeper into the
music that truly captures the American spirit of freedom.
Four titles of this edition
were originally released on the Keepnews-helmed label, Riverside Records, which recorded seminal jazz albums in the ‘50s
and early ‘60s, and one recording was released on his important ‘70s label, Milestone Records. The collection,
remastered in 24-bit from the
original master tapes, allows Keepnews to revisit some of his significant
accomplishments as a producer.
