The third installment in our successful series with original Blue Notes from
the 50s and 60s

Featuring John Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, Clifford Brown, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Kenny Dorham, Sonny Clark, Hank Mobley, Lou Donaldson, Jimmy Heath, Clifford Jordan, Max Roach, John Lewis, Ike Quebec, The Three Sounds, Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, or Philly Joe Jones.

Our search for the lost pearls of blue note-infused Modern jazz of the forties and fifties of the 20th century, as presented in two previously releases boxsets, has obviously hit a nerve. Since more is more and less is a bore” we
hereby present twenty more musically exciting albums with fantastic soloists, including a few rare masterpieces from the early years of stars like Jimmy Smith and Bud Powell.

Trumpeters Howard McGhee, Thad Jones, Art Farmer, Clifford Brown, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan and Kenny Dorham shine brightly and prove that there was room next to Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. Sax-players J.R. Monterose, Hank Mobley, Lou Donaldson, Jimmy Heath, Clifford Jordan, Brew Moore and Jackie McLean are also proud representatives of the art of their instrument.

Apart from Jimmy Smith, the originator of the Hammond organ boom of the late fifties, this box sets presents fine recordings by his disciples Freddie Roach and Baby Face Willete. A fabulous cocktail of soulful and ambitious Hard Bop with a dash of Bossa Nova thrown in for good measure.
