Michaeö Jackson 2022

"Thriller" by Michael Jackson is not only extremely award-winning as a single: the album of the same name has won eight Grammy trophies and sold 66 million units, making it the most successful album of all time since its release in 1982. In February 2017, the longplayer was also awarded a 33-time Diamond Award in the USA.

This set combines two of vibraphonist Milt Jackson's early-'60s LPs for Impulse! Records, 1962’s Statements, which finds Jackson in fine form playing with pianist Hank Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Connie Kay, and 1964’s odd Jazz ‘n’ Samba, which features Jackson on one side playing with pianist Tommy Flanagan, tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath, bassist Richard Davis, and Kay again on drums, while the second side finds Jackson minus pianist Flanagan but adds two guitarists, Barry Galbraith and Howard Collins, and vocalists Lilian Clark and Joe E. Ross.

A Comprehensive Historical Release. Black & White Records Rescued from extinction – music you’ve likely never heard. At Mosaic, presenting music that’s been hard to find — or completely overlooked — is as exciting today as it was in 1983 when we assembled our very first package of Blue Note recordings featuring Thelonious Monk. Sometimes we unveil just a handful. Other times, dozens. So, can you imagine how exhilarated we are about an 11-CD set where nearly every track has been unavailable for nearly 75 years? Unearthing the music on our new collection, Classic Black & White Jazz Sessions, has been a dream for decades. Unlike most of our sets, the original masters of these sessions are not known to exist anymore. Confusion over who owned the copyrights and who owned physical recordings we could use as source material raised additional obstacles.
