Lithuanian based NoBusiness records has put together a wonderful retrospective on under celebrated saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc and his pioneering ensemble Muntu, sumptuously packaged in a three-audio disc plus booklet box set. It's a bulletin from another era, the late 1970s, a fertile period in free jazz history which has been sparsely documented. The music itself is not always of the highest level, because Moondoc is not the great innovator in jazz nor the most incredible sax-player, but the nature of the music, the historical context, and the unbelievable quality and dedication with which No Business offered this music back to the world, make this already now one of the most recommended albums of the year.

The Complete Blue Note/UA/Roulette Recordings of Thad Jones is a wonderful limited-edition three-disc box set, containing everything the trumpeter recorded for the labels in the late '50s. Jones was a fantastic hard bop trumpeter, and the set captures him in all of his glory, making it of interest to serious hard bop connoisseurs.

"Wow! What a wonderful CD. As always, Earl Klugh is brilliant as he displays his talents on the keyboards, classical guitar, acoustic guitar, and mandolin. He is assisted beautifully by percussionist Paulinho DaCosta, George Benson guitarist, Harvey Mason DMX and drums, and many other renowned artists. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this CD. If you like a cool, relaxed style of guitar music with beautiful accompaniment, treat yourself to this wonderful piece of music by Earl Klugh." -- William Spencer
