Classic Vanguard Small Group Swing Sessions 1953-1958- Limited Edition Box Set

Locked away more than 70 years – Vanguard Jazz finally gets a retrospective tribute

Our greatest pleasure at Mosaic comes in unearthing surprising alternate takes, forgotten sessions, and overlooked artists that may have inadvertently slipped into obscurity. Rarely do we get an even greater honor — presenting a treasure trove of recordings that have remained almost entirely unheard for many, many decades.

We’ve worked years for the opportunity to re-visit the earliest jazz recordings on the Vanguard label, and we’re thrilled to finally present the first of what will be two Mosaic sets devoted to this important archive. A future set will focus on pianists in a variety of settings, but this first set showcases small groups in a 7-CD collection — “Classic Vanguard Small Group Swing Sessions.”

The set includes highlights from the six-year effort — 1953-1958 — that was originally labeled the Vanguard Jazz Showcase series. This collection of 85 tracks represents Vanguard’s first forays into jazz and brings fresh life to the original LPs that were released some 70 years ago.

At the December 30, 1953 session. L to R: Maynard Solomon (foreground, back to camera), Herbert Corsack, Seymour Solomon, Nat Hentoff (seated), Sir Charles Thompson, Benny Powell (seated at piano), Gene Ramey, John Hammond, Osie Johnson, Pete Brown.
