Description:

This is the fifth and sixth installment of the highly successful "Jazz Collection 1000" series, released four times in 2014 (February, March, September, and October: 50 titles each). As with the previous four releases, 100 titles from Sony Music's extensive jazz catalog, centered on the two major U.S. labels Columbia and RCA, are included, including first CD releases of long-awaited works and rare works that are currently difficult to obtain (Vol. 5: 50 titles released on October 14; Vol. 6: 50 titles released on November 6). The special price is 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set). All titles include new liner notes. Gary Burton, the "leader of the modern jazz scene" who discovered Pat Metheny, Makoto Ozone, and many other geniuses, left his first leader album in 1961. Burton was 18 years old at the time. His fresh playing, inspired by Bill Evans' piano and Chet Atkins' guitar, opened a new page in the jazz vibraphone world. Support by drummer Joe Morello of the Dave Brubeck Quartet is also superb. Special price for a limited time only (until March 31, 2017) / First time on CD in Japan / Liner notes / Year of recording: 1961
