VA - Atlantic Jazz Legends (2014)


Atlantic Records expanded into jazz in 1955 by signing, among others, The Modern Jazz Quartet and Charles Mingus. From the outset, label boss Nesuhi Ertegun balanced the cutting edge with the commercial, and had a fine ear for both.
This well-chosen and representative 20 CD box set covers the period 1958-73. Charles Mingus’ Blues and Roots, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps and Ornette Coleman’s Change of the Century were game changers; early CDs by Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett’s still sound experimental; and Mel Tormé’s vocals are timeless.
