Jazz albums to be reissued under Koch label
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Music by Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Stan Getz and others will be reissued by Koch Records Nashville, which has acquired the Charlie Parker Records catalog.
"We are getting into this thing as quick as we can to assess everything we bought," Nick Hunter, general manager of Koch Records Nashville, said Wednesday. "We hope to remaster and release it by late spring, early summer."
Charlie Parker Records, named for the influential jazz saxophonist, operated from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.
The catalog was owned by music producer Aubrey Mayhew. Terms of the deal, which includes music publishing company Charlie Parker Music, weren't disclosed.
Hunter said there are about 55 albums in the catalog and some unreleased material. The roster includes works by Cecil Payne, the Orioles, Miles Davis, Barney Kessel and Pete Jolly.
"Very little of this stuff has ever been out on CD before," Hunter said.
