Gerald Wilson: The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings of Gerald Wilson and His Orchestra
by C. Andrew Hovan
Even with the reissue boon that has resulted in so much obscure music seeing the light of day, certain artists have not fared well when it comes to the availability of their work. Dick Bock’s Pacific Jazz imprimatur falls under the Blue Note/Capitol umbrella, but past reissues have seemed to focus on “cool school” items with ...

Elvin Jones: The Complete Blue Note Elvin Jones Sessions

Django Reinhardt: The Complete Django Reinhardt and Quintet of the Hot Club of France Swing/HMV Sessions 1936-1948
by C. Andrew Hovan
When it comes to the real roots of jazz guitar, two names clearly standout in the minds of most jazz followers- Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt. While the recordings of the former are few enough in number to make it a somewhat easy task to acquire, the latter’s fairly large body of work poses a challenge ...
Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams: The Complete Blue Note Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Studio Sessions

From the early part of the '50s on, Byrd was a busy man, appearing on scores of records for Savoy, Prestige, and Blue Note. ...
Donald Byrd & Pepper Adams: The Complete Blue Note Donald Byrd/Pepper Adams Sessions
by Jim Santella
Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams began their jazz careers under similar circumstances at about the same time. Two years of military service, a musical education, and experience with established leaders prepared the trail. From Detroit, both found themselves in the center of New York’s late 1950s hard bop jazz scene. That fertile era produced some of ...
Sam Rivers: The Complete Blue Note Sam Rivers Sessions

His first recording for a major ...
