24-BIT REMASTERING BRINGS NEW CLARITY AND DEPTH TO CLASSIC RECORDINGS

FIRST FIVE TITLES SET FOR RELEASE ON MARCH 30, 2010

In the tradition of its highly lauded Rudy Van Gelder Remasters Series of classic Prestige recordings, Concord Music Group has dug into the vaults once again to create a new series of jazz reissues. The Original Jazz Classics Remasters series, scheduled for launch on March 30, showcases some of the most pivotal recordings of the past several decades by artists whose influence on the jazz tradition is beyond measure.

The first five titles in the series are:

Dave Brubeck Quartet: Jazz at Oberlin
Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section
Sonny Rollins: Way Out West
Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane
Joe Pass: Virtuoso

An extension of the popular Original Jazz Classics series (est. 1982), the new OJC Remasters releases reveal the sonic benefits of 24-bit remastering-a technology that didn’t exist when these titles were originally issued on compact disc. The addition of newly-written liner notes further enhances the illuminating quality of the OJC Remasters reissues. “Each of the recordings in this series is an all-time jazz classic,” says Nick Phillips, Vice President of Jazz and Catalog A&R at Concord Music Group and producer of the series. “With these reissues, we get a fresh look and a new perspective on these artists and some of their most important work-not only from the meticulous 24-bit remastering by Joe Tarantino, but also from the insights we glean from the new liner notes that have been written for each title in the series.” Continue reading →
