Esta recopilación, con casi cinco horas de música en total, es un adecuado testimonio a uno de los héroes no reconocidos del jazz y se espera que ayudará a mantener el nombre de Wynton Kelly vivo, para llegar a las nuevas generaciones de aficionados en los años venideros. Kelly actuó con una amplia gama de grandes del jazz a lo largo de los años, incluyendo a Charles Mingus, Benny Golson, Art Blakey y Lee Morgan, así como con las bandas de Washington y Gillespie, incluso tocó el bajo en una pista del cantante Abbey Lincoln. En enero de 1959, Kelly se unió a la banda de Miles Davis. Su trabajo con Davis finalmente llegaría a ser el más conocido, e incluyó una intepretación excepcional en la canción 'Freddy Freeloader' de Kind Of Blue, el disco de jazz más vendido de todos los tiempos.

With The Urmuz Epigrams Zorn returns to his roots, using the recording studio as instrument to create an intensely personal suite of compositions in the style of his legendary File Card compositions and Zoetropes. Dedicated to the visionary Romanian writer Urmuz whose small, scattered body of work predated Dadaism by decades, The Urmuz Epigrams is a suite of surrealistic miniatures more akin to philosophical aphorisms than actual music. The pieces are presented here in two iterations, as a set of “rare 78rpm records” complete with surface scratches and limited dynamic range, and as a modern reconstruction of same with the full blown studio sound presented in all its perplexing glory. Some of the craziest music in the Zorn catalog!

Official Release #70. This two-disc set represents almost all of Frank Zappa's concert on January 20, 1976, at Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, Australia. The only problem is that there was only one reel-to-reel machine to record the concert, necessitating missing portions of several songs to change tapes; these gaps were replaced by excerpts from a pitch-corrected bootleg from the same tour, with an obvious drop in sound quality but little loss in continuity. This particular band – with tenor saxophonist Napoleon Murphy Brock, bassist Roy Estrada, drummer Terry Bozzio, and keyboardist Andre Lewis (in his only tour with Zappa) – has only been represented sporadically on Zappa's earlier releases.
