VA Jazzland-Jazz Classics 4CD (2009)

In recent years, American major labels have been obsessed with best-of single-artist comps, or have dumped theme-related releases by classic or various artists into the bins to coincide with seasonal or greeting holidays. (Thank goodness Valentine’s Day is over for another year.) It takes little to no work to assemble these CDs, and the profit margin is higher. At the same time, well regarded catalog titles are allowed to either languish in the vaults or be licensed exclusively for release overseas. This leaves many true music fans — those that buy music continually and who don’t purchase low-fi MP3s — either to search out precious vinyl copies from online auctioneers and collectors’ web sites or drop equally big bucks to divisions of these companies or independents on retail sites.
