Description:

One of America`s staunchest independent labels with regard to recording both traditional and cutting-edge jazz and blues is Chicago`s Delmark Records. After all, how many labels can boast a catalog including such iconic figures as Big Joe Williams and Anthony Braxton? 55 YEARS OF JAZZ includes fine selections of traditional jazz (Art Hodes, George Lewis), hard bop (Curtis Fuller, Eric Alexander), soul-jazz (Deep Blue Organ Trio), and early rhythm & blues (King Curtis). Plus, it includes a DVD with performances by Delmark`s more adventurous artists, such as flutist Nicole Mitchell, Chicago Underground Trio, and the blues-toned avant-sax master Fred Anderson.
