Some of these recordings have gone on to such adoration, they eclipse the decades of foundational jazz that precede it; others languish in obscurity and are quickly forgotten, only to be dredged up by discerning sound seekers like the gang at UK’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Jazzman+Records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eJazzman Records\u003c\/a\u003e.

As such, many of the original pressings from whence these recordings originally appeared are now impossibly rare - Jazzman does the deep digging (and licensing) here so you don’t have to. The series has since grown to become one of the most reliable surveys of this music and its various strains plucked from the worldwide jazz diaspora, and volume 1 is a near-perfect primer for anyone humbly looking to expand their jazz horizons.
