Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, and legendary jazz guitarist Joe Pass reunited for their second duet album, Fitzgerald & Pass... Again, originally released in 1976. This collaboration has become a jazz classic, with Fitzgerald winning the 1977 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album for her performance. Fitzgerald's impeccable musicianship shines through, showcasing her unparalleled ability to convey the essence of a lyric. Pass complements her perfectly, displaying his virtuosity and strength as an accompanist. The album features four Duke Ellington classics, reimagined versions of 'Tis Autumn' and 'Tennessee Waltz,' and mesmerising wordless performances of 'Rain' and ''One Note Samba.' This 180-gram reissue by Analogue Productions, cut from existing metal parts mastered by Doug Sax from the original analog master tape and pressed at Quality Record Pressings, ensures optimal sound quality. The album is housed in a single pocket Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.

Review: Enja Records was founded in Munich in the early 70s by jazz devotees Matthias Winckelmann and Horst Weber. Given a co-sign by the always on-point BBE and IF Music founder Jean-Claude, the label is now enjoying a retrospective compilation which seeks to celebrate the best of their golden years. Featuring performances by John Stubblefield, Bobby Hutcherson, Harold Land, Don Cherry, Cecil McBee and Pharoah Sanders collaborator Marvin Hannibal Peterson to name but a few, this collection provides a great jumping-off point for Enja's rich and diverse back catalogue. It may only be an introduction to a vast pool of music, but it's curated with authority by a dedicated head, so you know you're getting a shortcut to the best the label has to offer.

Review: As part of the newly relaunched Original Jazz Classics Series, Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio has remastered this seminal jazz record from Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane from the original tapes and in all analog fashion. It's a deserving treatment for what many believe to be one of the great ever collaborative jazz records. As well as those two legendary players and jazz innovators, further greats joined in the recording sessions including Art Blakey on the drums, Wilbur Ware on bass, and alto sax from Gigi Gryce. What a piece of history it is too.
