Thelonious Monk Paris 1959

Original recordings from the mid and late 50's, of John Coltrane, playing with the jazz pianist and composer Tadd Dameron, one of the most important figures of bebop and most authentic jazz writers of 40-50. They perform together 8 beautiful compositions of Dameron, where you can "feel" the glamour and brightness of Dameron's works expressed through the powerfull and a bit unusual for saxophonist, sound of Coltrane. A wonderful and rare jazz jewel.

Elemental Music presents a complete previously unissued quartet performance in pristine sound quality by the great French saxophonist Barney Wilen. This wonderful concert finds him playing at the Keystone Korner in Tokyo, Japan, on February 11, 1991. The quartet is completed with Olivier Hutman at the piano, Gilles Naturel on bass, and Peter Gritz on drums.
