AVID Jazz continues with its Four Classic Album series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Harold Land, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details Harold In The Land Of Jazz; The Fox West Coast Blues and Eastward Ho! Harold In New York AVID jazz continues its mission to re-instate some of the lesser known or perhaps under-appreciated jazz musicians from the golden age of jazz. Here we feature tenor sax giant, Harold Land who started his musical career as a fiercely hard be-bop player with the Clifford Brown / Max Roach quintet of the early 1950s. Moving out to the west coast he hooked up with bassist Curtis Counce for a series of Counce led albums in the late 1950s (AMSC1196). He can also be heard as sideman alongside such names as Elmo Hope, Herb Geller, Gerald Wilson, Gerald Wiggins, Victor Feldman, Shorty Rogers and Thelonious Monk. Our featured Land-mark albums come from his late 1950s, early 1960s period and include such fine jazz players as Elmo Hope, Leroy Vinnegar, Frank Butler, Carl Perkins, Wes Montgomery, Louis Hayes, Joe Gordon, Kenny Dorham and another fine trumpet player, the rarely heard and enigmatic Dupree Bolton. Check out: Elmo Hope (AMSC1256), Kenny Dorham (AMSC1300), Classic Trumpet (AMSC1293), Clifford Jordan (AMSC1330), Curtis Amy (AMSC1316), Benny Golson (AMSC1310), Johnny Griffin (AMSC1266), Stanley Turrentine (AMSC1319), Ike Quebec (AMSC1322), David Newman (AMSC1308), Curtis Counce (AMSC1196) and Hank Mobley (AMSC1243).
