Chops 693 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I've never heard of that recording label before, but I'll definitely check them out. I love good jazz, especially good recorded jazz. Thanks for the tip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zumbini 6,135 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The bulk of my very large jazz collection is from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Most of my favorites are on Blue Note, Fantasy (reissued by Prestige and Riverside), Verve, Milestone and Pablo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslan7 954 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just picked up a mint condition jazz LP in Omaha, NE last night for $3 at the local antique store. My 17 year old son's idol is Doc Severinsen. He asked me to keep an eye out for any. I'll have to check the label for the aforementioned. Thanks for the heads up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcl 3,155 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Jim, Heads Up label artists in my library include Karin Allyson, Mike Stern, Eric Johnson, Jaco Pastorius Big Band. Concord Music Group, the umbrella company, has quite a collection of labels & artists. I would guess that most members have a recording by an artist in their portfolio. Thanks for pointing out the label. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
