JATP concerts from the 1940s were documented in 1998 on a 10-CD Verve boxed set. But until now, the 1950s concerts have been passed over for a retrospective. In fact, since the CD era began very little of the material from that span has been available at all.

Mosaic to correct that oversight with our 10-CD release, Classic Jazz at the Philharmonic Jam Sessions (1950-1957), a defining set that documents the energy and invention of these phenomenal musicians and the adoring response from long-time fans.

Masters rising to the occasion As the JATP events and tours had begun years earlier, many of the musicians Granz booked were old hands at delivering the excitement crowds wanted. In the main, these were the greatest soloists of the time delivering everything from volcanic exchanges to moments of breathtaking beauty. Most of the musicians were at the height of their talent and influence.
FEATURES

• A version of “Indiana” from the first session of the collection, with Flip Phillips, Harry Edison, Bill Harris, Lester Young, Hank Jones, and Buddy Rich delivering a stark bolt of lightning

• A now-famous drum battle by Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich in the 1952 version inaugurates their professional rivalry on stage in what Granz called “one of the most thrilling things I have ever heard.”

• There are exquisite ballad medleys like the all reed performance from the Shrine in 1957 with Sonny Stitt, Illinois Jacquet, Lester Young and Flip Phillips.

And historic pairings
• Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie trumpet battle

• Buddy Rich squaring off against Lionel Hampton in a once-in-a-lifetime event

• The jaw dropping tandem of Stan Getz along with J.J. Johnson.

A much-needed collection of the famous Jazz At The Philharmonic performances of the 1950s – work that follows up the initial postwar run from producer/presenter Norman Granz, which helped lay the groundwork for Verve Records – but which hasn't gotten the full exposure it deserves! Unlike the 40s sessions, there's a lot of material here that never made it to CD – including tracks from the multi-record box set releases that included JATP volumes 11, 15, 16, and 17 – plus the Jazz Concert #1 album, Jazz At The Hollywood Bowl, and various Opera House sessions – and even the Lester Young Carnegie Blues record, which appeared later on vinyl! Some unreleased tracks have been added to the set too – and as with Mosaic Records at its best, this is less a reissue package than a proper presentation of material that was scattered out there in various formats – finally presented in the right order, with detailed notes, and really great sound. Artists are the cream of the crop of Verve at the time – Stan Getz, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Eldridge, Herb Ellis, Buddy DeFranco, Sonny Stitt, Benny Carter, Lionel Hampton, Gene Krupa, and others – plus some non-Verve artist surprises as well! Very limited, and comes with a huge booklet of notes and performance details too.
