JAZZ IS ON THE

Horizon

“…a series of records intended to capture important new music...”

Horizon is jazz.

Horizon is a new venture from A&M Records dedicated to improvisational music and the artists who create it.

Horizon will present a series of records intended to capture important new music for those interested in the remarkable and unpredictable evolution of jazz.

All Horizon album covers will be gatefold and, in most cases, will contain extensive liner notes, along with transcribed solos, a lead sheet of a selected composition, a diagram of the stereo mix of one of the selections, a graphic score of one selection (what instrument is playing when), artists' comments, and photographs.

All Horizon pressings will be of the highest quality available to ensure the ultimate sonic experience. Each record will be packaged in a plastic lined inner sleeve.

All Horizon albums will be available at a list price of $5.98, instead of the usual $6.98. And all tapes will be $6.98 instead of $7.98.

We welcome your opinions.

THAD JONES & MEL LEWIS – SUITE FOR POPS

DAVE LIEBMAN – SWEET HANDS

One of the rising stars of contemporary instrumental music, Dave is a former Miles Davis reed player who’s also recorded with Mahavishnu John McLaughlin and Elvin Jones.

DAVE BRUBECK & PAUL DESMOND – 1975: THE DUETS
SP 703

Brubeck and Desmond first played duets aboard the S.S. Rotterdam Jazz Cruise earlier this year. This album marks a special moment in jazz history: their first duet recording in over twenty years of performing together. It all started 2000 miles out at sea and it’s all here. Definitely a vintage set.
