Description: Soprano Summit in 1975 and More Selected by Dan Morgenstern from the Archives of the New Jersey Jazz Society Arbors Historical Series, Volume 6 A Specially Priced Double CD
Itīs been decades since the New Jersey Jazz Society entrusted its precious early tapes to the Institute of Jazz Studies. While we were happy to provide a safe and protective environment, it was a bit frustrating not to be able to share the not inconsiderable
amount of great music with the world. To say that weīre off to a good start would be an understatement. One would be hard put to find a better performance by Soprano Summit than the one contained herein when I had the pleasure of seeing Bob Wilber at the Benny Carter Centennial celebration at Lincoln Center, his first words, after we hugged, were to ask if I had heard it, and if I agreed that it was extraordinary.
There is also a notable encounter between Ruby Braff and Bob Wilber and a relaxed and inspired 1979 set by the Blue Three, which is a great find and a precious addition
to their recorded legacy. From the album notes by Dan Morgenstern, Director of the
Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies.
