  7. Riccardo Muti - The Complete Warner Symphonic Recordings, disc 70. I have #11-20 on this LP:
  8. Release date August 8: The Argentinean father and son team of Dino and Jose Maria Saluzzi are joined by Norway's Jacob Young, in an album of musical depth and great charm. "It fills me with joy," says Dino Saluzzi, delighting in this recording's sonic blend. "Jacob and Jose are very good together. They have different sounds, different visions, but when it comes to the artistic output there is something beautiful happening." The elder Saluzzi has lost none of his youthful enthusiasm for artistic collaboration, or for venturing beyond stylistic borders: "I always strive to make contact with new ideas outside my normal element," he says, still seeking out contexts that offer, as he puts it, "potential for both musical and human growth." The program includes originals, new and old, by all three musicians, a song by Karin Krog, as well as a couple of standards.
  9. Release date August 22: You're Exaggerating! features Cornish with the rhythm tandem of bassist Joshua Crumbly and drummer Jonathan Pinson, performing nine original compositions, most of them inspired by personal memories, reflections and idols. Helmed by a generous, uplifting bandleader, the trio chops up and reinvents the groove at will and embarks on unforeseen detours. Cornish's approach, in its even-keeled texture and shrewd harmony, is a sort of mastery that entices rather than merely impresses.
  10. Release date July 25:
  11. Release date September 12: Five original studio albums, recorded in New York City across one week in August 1965: Boppin', Smokin', Groovin', Comin' On, Cool Burnin' are being made available on vinyl for the first time in over 50-years. Representing a critical moment in his career, Chet Baker hooked up with a superlative band for these recordings: George Coleman; Kirk Lightsey; Herman Wright and Roy Brooks play throughout on these thrilling sets, which were originally issued by Prestige Recordings. New Land has gained full access to the original analog mono tapes, and Kevin Gray has remastered and cut (AAA), giving them fresh sonic detail. At the centre of this package is a book featuring an incredibly detailed essay by GRAMMY® award nominee James Gavin which intertwines the true story behind these recordings with interviews from those who were involved. Illustrated with rare photographs and ephemera, this is the deepest dive into these recordings to date. These aren't just "late-era" Chet recordings - they're a document of reinvention. For collectors, this fills a crucial gap between his iconic 1950s cool jazz era and his darker 1970s European sessions.

  13. I recently purchased Roland Kirk's twofer "Pre-Rahsaan" (on Prestige), and was pleasantly surprised to find Cuscuna's lengthy liner notes, describing not just the two albums on the disc but also his decade-long friendship with Kirk.
