Like the 1959 collection, 1958 was also a seismic year in the history of jazz music, with some stunning precursors to some of the all time classics, that arrived on the scene a year later...
Particular favourites, such as Sonny Clark's - Cool Struttin', Paul Chambers Quintet, John Coltrane's Blue Trane, Johnny Griffins - The Congregation (featuring a Andy Warhol illustration), Dorothy Ashby's groundbreaking 'Hip Harp' and the iconic Billie Hollidays - Lady in Satin
Collected in this second part, are 22 classic albums that also left their mark on another sensational & groundbreaking year in jazz....
