July 8, 2008
Meet Orrin Keepnews. Quite a character. He regularly beats me in simulated baseball leagues, both on the virtual field and in the owners’ chat room. But there’s more. Released June 3rd, Concord Music Group originally of Concord, California, has released part five of its historic reissues series of the ‘Keepnews Collection’, which spotlights classic albums by jazz titans put on the map by the legendary producer Orrin Keepnews.
The Keepnews Collection serves jazz aficionados who are looking to add to their collections as well as jazz neophytes who have caught the jazz bug and long to delve deeper into the music that truly captures the American spirit of freedom.
Four titles of this edition were originally released on the Keepnews-helmed label, Riverside Records, which recorded seminal jazz albums in the ’50s and early ’60s, and one recording was released on his important ’70s label, Milestone Records. The collection, remastered in 24-bit from the original master tapes, allows Keepnews to revisit some of his significant accomplishments as a producer.
The 5th Installment of the ‘Keepnews Collection’ includes:
Coleman Hawkins: “The Hawk Flies High” (1957)
Sonny Rollins: “Freedom Suite” (1958)
