Info for Collectors' Items (2016 Remaster)
Originally released in 1956, Collectors’ Items consists of two studio sessions recorded over roughly three years, with a menagerie of musicians taking part. Because of the amount of time between each session (1953 and 1956), fans will get an intimate peek into the artistic maturation of the esteemed artists who took part in the recordings. Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker (who recorded under the name “Charlie Chan” to avoid contractual issues while under a rival label), Paul Chambers, Art Taylor and Tommy Flanagan were just some of the names who joined Davis in the studio. Collectors’ Items opens the studio doors to listeners, allowing them to take part in a moment—Charlie Parker trying out a new King tenor sax; Miles Davis informally improvising; the band recording “Round About Midnight” at six PM, due to the studio closing down for the night. Ira Gitler’s liner notes recall details like this—adding dimension and a context to the album’s tracks. This is most definitely a Collectors’ Item for any jazz fan.
„This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker; other meetings with Rollins in 1951 and 1956; and a moody 1955 date with bassist Charles Mingus, trombone, vibes, and drums (a young Elvin Jones). Highlights include 'No Line,' 'Vierd Blues,' 'In Your Own Sweet Way,' 'Nature Boy,' and 'There's No You.' It's classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen.“ (Scott Yanow, AMG)
