Another press release for yet another forthcoming Jazz Detective release: I’m so happy to be working with Jazz Detective Zev Feldman on In Perfect Harmony: The Lost Album, previously unheard musical treasure. A studio album from 1972 featuring West Coast trumpet icons Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon, the album will be released via LP on Record Store Day, April 20, 2024 with the CD and downloads to follow on April 26. Recorded in Tustin, California in 1972 with pianist David Frishberg, bassist Joe Mondragon, drummer Nick Ceroli and guitarist Jack Marshall, the recordings were produced by Jack Marshall and Hank Quinn. The tape comes from the personal archives of the legendary film producer Frank Marshall (Jack Marshall's son) – The Last Waltz, the Indiana Jones and Bourne Identity franchises, Gremlins, The Goonies, Back to the Future, Jurassic World, The Color Purple and countless others. Frank Marshall notes, "The tapes got packed away in our garage on Lido and were never released. Until now. After 50 years in storage, we can finally enjoy and celebrate this long, lost gem of an album.” Co-produced by Zev Feldman and Frank Marshall, the all-analog recording is mastered by Matthew Lutthans at the Mastering Lab directly from the original master tape reel and manufactured at Memphis Record Pressing. The limited-edition 180-gram LP edition (and deluxe CD) includes an extensive insert with rare photographs, newly-commissioned liner notes and interviews and testimonials from musicians who were inspired by and knew and played with Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon. I hope you’ll be interested in covering this incredible find or interviewing Frank Marshall or Zev Feldman. The album press release is below. P.S. This is one of a number of albums Zev is releasing for the year’s Record Store Day.
