A great collection of 25 essential Prestige tracks, packed with classic photographs covering a 20-year span from 1949-1969, truly representing Prestige’s golden era.

The 60th anniversary celebration continues with three series of Ryan Van Gelder remasters (March 3, June 2 and September 8), as well as audio podcasts with the legendary engineer.

In addition, Concord will issue two new sets of vital music from the Prestige catalog: Sidesteps, a 5-CD boxed set of John Coltrane’s appearances as a sideman on Prestige recordings (to be released on September 8), and the 2-CD collection Miles Davis & Sonny Rollins: The Classic Prestige Sessions 1951–1956 (to be issued in late summer or early fall).

Also planned for later this year is Prestige Records: The Collected Album Covers, a coffee table book, published by noted music historian Geoff Gans.
