The counter-tenor’s own solo vocal work, as well as anthems, operas, songs,odes and all his roles as performer and leader of The Deller Consort will be released in six multiple CD boxed sets,comprising in total 35 discs, and restoring to the worldwide marketplace these ground-breaking and invaluable early music recordings.

The names of Johann Sebastian Bach, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Sergei Rachmaninoff do not necessarily conjure images and sounds of jazz in one's mind, that is until one has listened to recordings by the Classical Jazz Quartet. Although these musicians utilize the same instruments as the Modern Jazz Quartet, they are in no way clones or copycats of that groundbreaking group. They have very much their own sound and style. This is not surprising given the huge talent of the musicians involved; all four are virtuosos on their respective instruments. The themes, although composed in a different time and place, become excellent vehicles for complex, sometimes, bluesy, often swinging and always fresh improvisations in the hands of these musicians.
