Various - Timeless Jazz Classics Volume 3

Gilles Peterson, renowned DJ, producer, radio host, and founder of Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud, returns with a new handpicked selection from the iconic Dutch Timeless Jazz label. Timeless Jazz Classics Vol. 3 is the double album featuring standout performances and rare versions by legendary artists including Gary Bartz ("Peresina"), Billy Higgins ("Sugar And Spice"), Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers ("Free For All"), Nueva Manteca and Nicky Marrero ("Afrodisia"), and Clint Houston ("Geri"). The exclusive bonus track "Bolivia (Live at Umbria '76)" by Eastern Rebellion adds further depth to this remarkable collection.Timeless Jazz Classics Vol. 3 is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl and includes an insert with liner notes and track-by-track information by Gilles Peterson.

If there is one man who has earned the right to decide what and what isn't timeless jazz, is French audiophile and Worldwide FM boss, Mr P. The architect of the acid jazz movement turns his curation skills to the Dutch Timeless Records catalogue for a third volume and the results are characteristically immaculate. Spread across two sides of wax, the selection moves through jewels from Gary Bartz, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Billy Higgins, Nueva Manteca and Clint Houston with the authority of someone who has lived with this music for decades. The exclusive bonus here is a previously unreleased live recording of Eastern Rebellion's 'Bolivia' from Umbria '76, which justifies the purchase alone. Bravo.
