The eighteen exceptional albums in this 10 CD documentation primarily show the love story of jazz, also known as "America's classical music", with its European counterpart in the late 1950s and early 1960s - from "Third Stream", a jazz-affine variant of modern composed music, to jazzy interpretations of classical masterpieces by Bach, Grieg or Tchaikovsky. These excellent examples of what happens when "Jazz goes Classical" create a brave new world where some of the greatest melodies meet improvisations and interpretations of jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Jimmy Giuffre, Stan Getz, Miles Davis, The Modern Jazz Quartet, and many more
Included in this comprehensive collection, the first of its kind, are many rarities. An album like John Benson Brook's wonderful "Alabama Concerto", a feature for Cannonball Adderley and Art Farmer, is as hard to find as Gunther Schuller's "Symphony for Brass and Percussion", which features musicians like Miles Davis or J. J. Johnson.
