Concord Remasters More Jazz Classics

Concord Music Group will launch a new reissue series, Original Jazz Classics Remasters, on March 30 with five titles culled from its catalog. The titles in Concord’s 24-bit remastering series include Dave Brubeck’s Jazz At Oberlin, Art Pepper’s Meets The Rhythm Section, Sonny Rollins’ Way Out West, Thelonious Monk With John Coltrane and Joe Pass’ Virtuoso.This series is an extension of the company’s recent Rudy Van Gelder Remasters reissues, which feature 24-bit remastering technology.

With these reissues, we get a fresh look and a new perspective on these artists and some of their most important work,” said Nick Phillips, vice president of jazz at Concord. “Not only from the meticulous 24-bit remastering by Joe Tarantino, but also from the insights we glean from the new liner notes that have been written for each title in the series.”
