Miles Davis toured Japan for the first time during July 1964 with a quintet that included saxophonist Sam Rivers, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. Although several Japanese concerts were booked, only three performances are known to have taken place: the well known July 14 show at Kohseinenkin Hall, in Tokyo (which was issued on LP), and the previously unissued July 12 & 15 concerts, presented on this set. Both concerts appear here for the first time ever. No other recorded collaborations between Miles and Rivers exist apart from the three shows in Japan!

2010 two CD set containing all surviving music from a never before heard performance by the 1969 Miles Davis Quintet, with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. It was taped at the Blue Coronet Club in New York in June of that year, before the group embarked on a European tour. Miles remembered this group in his autobiography as really a bad motherfucker. These recordings are welcome considering that this exact formation of the quintet never made a studio recording.

Limited Edition. The rare 1962 Copenhagen concert by the classic John Coltrane quartet in it's entirety (not to be confused with the 1961 and 1963 performances). Includes inside booklet. This performance by the Coltrane Quartet is one of the most blistering ever released. Even by the high performance standards this band had set, this concert is extraordinary. I expected great music but this..Coltrane literally tears into the music with both ferocity and grace, it's almost unbearable. I was listening to this in my car and almost had an accident! The Danish audience is very receptive and apppreciative. I would recommend this set with rabid urgency.

Of all the early rock & rollers, Fats Domino was the easiest to take for granted, since he made it all seem so easy. Even when it rocked hard, his music was so relaxed, so friendly that it sounded effortless and natural, which was part of the reason that his classic recordings for Imperial in the '50s were so consistently enjoyable. All the hits, many of their flips sides, and most of his album cuts were flat-out fun – maybe not as revolutionary as work by Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and the Everly Brothers, but his body of work for Imperial not only stands proudly next to theirs, but is just as influential. This much is clear after years of hindsight, but in the late '60s he was as passé as any of his peers, even if there were legions of new rockers, from the Beatles to Randy Newman, who were raised on his music.

Rhythm & Blues / Jazz / Early R&B / New Orleans R&B / Rock & Roll

From the vaults of the Imperial label comes one of the great examples of how New Orleans R&B turned into rock & roll in the ‘50s. The best Bobby Mitchell profile you ll ever need, these 26 recordings contain southern rhythm & blues, delightful doo-wop, hot rock & roll and early soul, with roaring horns and a bright production by the great Dave Bartholomew. Although Bobby Mitchell recorded the original version of the smash hit “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday” (later performed with great success by Fats Domino), he never got his due as either a singer or a songwriter.

Jazz / Bop / Trumpet / Piano

Pure and simple genius from trumpeter Charlie Shavers – a player with a sweet tone and a fluid groove – stepping out here with great accompaniment from pianist Ray Bryant! The CD brings together work from the albums Charlie Digs Paree and Charlie Digs Dixie – both originally recorded for MGM Records in the late 50s, and done in a clean, uncluttered style that really brought a strong focus to Shaver's solos, but also gave some excellent rhythmic support from Bryant – working here at the height of his early powers, in a mode that's clearly relaxed enough to get with the spirit of each different session.
