The Boplicity label was one of the earliest entries into the jazz reissue market in the mid 1980s, In 2013 we are re-launching the label as the home for our small but distinct catalogue of 1950s and 1960s 'modern jazz', Each of the releases will strive for the highest quality in sound reproduction, mastered from fresh transfers from first generation mastertapes, and featuring bonus tracks where relevant.
All have been remastered from source tapes, have fresh sleeve notes and are packaged in a digipack.
" Chico Hamilton came to national prominence with the success of his records recorded for Pacific Jazz in the mid 50s, These recordings were typical of West Coast Jazz, featuring unusual instrumental line-ups, and tightly arranged music, Hamilton went onto become one of the most important drummers and band leaders in jazz.
" In 1963 Pacific sold a selection of out-takes from Hamilton's most important sessions to Modern Records for issue on the Crown label, This disc focuses on a series of recordings that featured the adventurous saxophonist Paul Horn, and are amongst some of Hamilton's finest work.
" The album features tracks from three separate sessions and three different bands - firstly with Howard Roberts on guitar and George Duvivier on bass, then with Jim Hall and Duvivier again, and finally a quintet with Paul Horn, cellist Fred Katz, John Pisano on guitar and Carson Smith on bass.
