Jazz is one of the most influential, timeless and enduring genres in music. The structuring and songwriting styles from jazz has been used in other genres such as rock, metal, hip hop and funk throughout the years. It can range from subtle and relaxing, to eclectic free jazz freakouts and has something for every music fan. We scour collections to find both iconic releases and rare obscurities to give our customers a wide range to choose from.

BILL EVANS Turn Out The Stars (1996 US 59-track 6-CD limited edition, numbered (5537) boxset – The performances on these six CDs – which feature newly written originals as well as brilliant interpretations of the standards that Evans loved – were recorded on the evenings of June 4, 5, 6 and 8, 1980 [only months before pianist Bill Evans’ untimely death on September 15th 1980, at the age of 51]. Evans intended to release a double LP culled form these sessions, and he supervised the initial mixing and editing of the tapes. It would take more than fifteen years before this material would become available, in an exhaustive, chronologically sequenced six-CD form, contains the original boxset packaging and a 40-page exstensive illustrated booklet plus each disc housed in it’s own jewel case. The boxset shows one small surface scuff line on the backcover and the booklet and discs show very little wear – a fantastic copy).
