The Best of impulse! Records - Amazon.com Exclusive

$1,215.98

Throughout its four-decade-plus history, the Impulse! label has been home to many of the most influential and innovative artists in jazz, amassing a formidable catalog that contains a remarkable number of classics by such greats as John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, and Sonny Rollins. One of Impulse! s most significant achievements has been its extensive and ongoing documentation of the music of John Coltrane. Its 1961 signing of Coltrane was a major coup that quickly established Impulse! as a major force in the jazz world. In 1995--nearly 35 years after its inception and more than 20 years after it ceased active operations--the Impulse! label was reactivated and returned to deliver more of what made it famous. The resurgent label immediately began an extensive campaign of reissuing its classic catalog in upgraded CD editions, digitally remastered and packaged with the original art and liner notes. Impulse! also continues to release new recordings from artists with historic ties to the company s musical legacy.Amazon is proud to present an exclusive collection of 97 titles from the Impulse! vaults, including classics like Coltrane s A Love Supreme, Mingus s Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, and Rollins s Alfie, along with selections from Duke Ellington, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Yusef Lateef, and more--all yours with one click of the mouse.
