About this product
(2-CD set) One of the most exciting and strikingly original of the early jazz bands was the New Orleans Rhythm Kings (NORK). Their approach was fresh and airy as well as hot, and would not fall prey to caricature, as did many other bands of the early 1920s. They literally redirected the public's attention to what jazz was at it's core and, in doing so, influenced scores of musicians who would carry it into the future. Although the band's personnel changed often, the recordings on this set include such star players as Jelly Roll Morton, Paul Mares, Leon Roppolo, Santo Pecora, Ben Pollack, Don Murray, George Brunies, Steve Brown, Jack Pettis, and Elmer Schoebel. This new 2-CD set, a joint production of Rivermont and Off The Record (widely lauded for their recent restorations of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band and The Wolverines) presents all 42 master and alternative takes recorded by the NORK from 1922-1925. Every track has been meticulously transferred and restored from original disc sources by renowned engineer Doug Benson for superb sound quality. The NORK recordings have never sounded this good - clear, open, and brimming with life and vitality! The copiously illustrated 40-page booklet includes detailed liner notes by Sue Fischer and 2-time Grammy nominee David Sager.

The Anonim Trio was formed in 2021, and features three faculty members at Washington State University Martin D. King, horn; Chris Dickey, tuba, and Yoon-Wha Roh, piano. The group was formed because the members love the sound of these three instruments combined, and wanted to perform the existing repertoire and commission new works for this ensemble. The Anonim Trio's first performance was a performance of Jim Stephenson's Vast and Curious on a concert honoring the composer at Washington State University in 2021. The trio is currently working on a project funded by the WSU Center for Arts and Humanities. The Anonim Trio commissioned a new piece by Catherine Likhuta (premiered in April, 2022), is touring the Southeast, and is recording an album on Centaur records. The album will be released in the fall of 2022. We are excited to share this amazing music with you!

The first-ever complete LP collection of Ignaz Friedman's recordings has been much sought after by collectors and admired by critics since it's original LP in 1985. Newly remastered for it's first modern , this set celebrates the artistry of a uniquely gifted musician. The 'Moonlight' Sonata, Chopin mazurkas and Songs without Words of Mendelssohn are classics of the gramophone, which now speak to a new generation of listeners more clearly than ever before.
