three Craft reissues, five days before they are released
Prestige started Moodsville in 1960 for slow tempos and late listening, and Swingville the same year for the swing-era players bebop had left behind. Both labels all day, alongside the wider Prestige catalog. From 5:00 PM, three reissues in full: Moodsville, Volume 1 with the Red Garland Trio and Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Moodsville, Volume 8 with the Frank Wess Quartet and Tommy Flanagan, and Coleman Hawkins’ The Hawk Relaxes with Kenny Burrell and a twenty-three-year-old Ron Carter. Craft releases all three on September 18th.
