New York Jazz / 19 Original Albums

New York, NY - for more than a century, the club-land of the city that never sleeps has been the proving ground for Jazz musicians from the US and all over the world. Jazz, the most American art-form of all, may not have originated in the Big Apple, but it certainly lives and thrives there. The carefully selected original albums in this 10-CD-set document prime examples of New York Jazz from one of its heydays in the be- and hardboppin"' 50s and 60s. Featuring an A-list of leaders from Miles Davis via Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk or Cannonball Adderley to John Coltrane and some of their greatest albums, it also introduces long forgotten gems of ""East Coast Jazz"" from players like Charlie Rouse, Grant Green, Tony Fruscella, Zoot Sims, or Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
