Miles Davis | The Complete Columbia Album Collection
Columbia Records is bringing its Miles Davis remastering project to grand closure with its limited edition release of The Complete Columbia Album Collection, an exclusive box set that provides the most complete overview of Davis’ recording career available, since all but the very last phase of his recording career was released by the label.

Lost Vinyl
Dave Liebman & Richie Beirach | Forgotten Fantasies
Liebman and Bierach were to be frequent collaborators for the rest of their careers. Sadly, many of their duo albums have been long out of print and never made available digitally. The same is true of a great deal of Beirich’s catalog, particularly some excellent albums he recorded for ECM. One excellent but long unavailable album by Liebman and Bierach is Forgotten Fantasies. Recorded on November 18, 19 & 20, 1975 it was released on A&M’s Horizon imprint.
Chick Corea & Hiromi | Duets and Stanley Clarke Trio with Lenny White & Hiromi | Jazz In the Garden
Hiromi has not been around for very long compared to Corea, but she has already demonstrated an unwillingness to respect musical boundaries, recording trio albums, working with her heavy, fusion-influenced Sonic Bloom, and now collaborating with Corea and with Stanley Clarke and Lenny White on Clarke’s first trio album.
Ravi Coltrane | Blending Times
Ravi Coltrane’s latest release, Blending Times, is an intriguing and well-realized trip through post-bop modern jazz by a saxophonist who has continually sought to discover his true voice and who demonstrates clearly that he has found it. In the hands of a less self-assured player the array of grooves, styles, and playing on this disc would have sounded like someone who is lost. But Coltrane always plays like himself, remaining true to the musical coordinates he’s set for his own career.
Christian Scott | Live At Newport
It’s not necessary to see Christian Scott play to understand the intense commitment he brings to his music.That’s evident from his clear and powerful trumpet tone. But when you do get to see Scott, as on the DVD accompanying his CD release Christian Scott Live at Newport, your realize that he himself also creates a powerful electricity around his music that is not unlike the power of personality behind players like Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard.
Joe Zawinul & The Zawinul Syndicate 75
Performing with the latest edition of his group Zawinul Syndicate, the venerable keyboardist and composer takes us through a sampling of his career as a composer, going back to “Silent Way,” a composition that inspired and informed the Miles Davis album of the same title.
Rudresh Mahanthappa with the Dakshina Ensemble featuring Kadri Gopalnath | Kinsmen
In 2005 Mahanthappa received a commission from the Asia Society to travel to madras and collaborate with Kadri on the music that has been recorded and released on the Pi Records label under the title Kinsmen. The resulting album is mesmerizing and by turns emphatically rhythmically driven and gorgeously lyrical. “The piece is really about finding this middle ground where we’re both comfortable playing in this setting that is half-Western and half-South Indian..."
