Description:

This is the fifth and sixth installment of the highly successful "Jazz Collection 1000" series, released four times in 2014 (February, March, September, and October: 50 titles each). As with the previous four releases, 100 titles from Sony Music's extensive jazz catalog, centered on the two major U.S. labels Columbia and RCA, are included, including first CD releases of long-awaited works and rare works that are currently difficult to obtain (Vol. 5: 50 titles released on October 14; Vol. 6: 50 titles released on November 6). The special price is 1,000 yen plus tax (1,500 yen plus tax for the 2-disc set). All titles include new liner notes. The soulful album that symbolizes the young George Benson is now available with a bonus track. From the soul-jazz classic "The Return of the Prodigal Son" to the standard number "All of Me," the one-and-only guitar and vocal performance will captivate you. The album covers the outlandishly gorgeous performances of "Breezin'" and "Give Me the Night," which already foreshadow the successes of the following years. ◆Limited time production special price edition (until March 31, 2017) / Liner notes / Bonus tracks included
