Description:

This is the fifth and sixth installment of the highly successful "Jazz Collection 1000" series, released four times in 2014 (February, March, September, and October: 50 titles each). As with the previous four releases, 100 titles from Sony Music's extensive jazz catalog, centered on the two major U.S. labels Columbia and RCA, are included, including first CD releases of long-awaited works and rare works that are currently difficult to obtain (Vol. 5: 50 titles released on October 14; Vol. 6: 50 titles released on November 6). The special price is 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set). All titles include new liner notes. This is the first release by trumpeter Woody Shaw, who has honed his skills in many prestigious bands such as the Horace Silver Quintet and Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, to Colubia in the US. In addition to the regular group at the time of recording, Shaw was joined by guest musicians including Joe Henderson, a former colleague of Silver's. All of the trumpets, compositions, and arrangements were done by Shaw. This is literally a masterpiece in which Shaw fully displays his talents in all aspects of trumpet and composition/arrangement. Special price for a limited time only (until March 31, 2017) / First CD release in Japan / Liner notes
