Special Limited Edition Reissue of the 1956 Bethlehem LP
From the BMG website:
Founded by Gus Wildi in 1952, Bethlehem is primarily known for its jazz catalogue and was home to an impressive roster of artists, many of whom produced their best known works while at the label. Renowned in-house producers Teddy Charles and Creed Taylor (who would later work at Impulse! and Verve and found CTI) oversaw artists including singers Chris Conner, Nina Simone, Mel Torme and Billy Eckstine; arrangers Marty Paich, Russ Garcia and Frank Hunter; musicians Dexter Gordon, Roland Kirk, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Zoot Sims and many others. The label distinguished itself by giving elements of creative control to the artists, enabling them to experiment and flourish and also utilising cutting edge graphic design. Its legacy is a stunning discography, capturing and preserving an era of truly amazing music, including west coast cool jazz, east coast bop and some of jazz’s most distinctive vocalists. Bethlehem was eventually sold to its primary distributor King before being acquired by Salsoul in the late ‘70s and was ultimately acquired by BMG as part of its acquisition of the Verse Music Group. Includes: Nina Simone, Mel Torme, Billy Eckstine, Charles Mingus Carmen McRae, Howard McGhee, Oscar Pettiford, Ruby Braff, Eddie Shu, Chris Connor & Duke Ellington.
