Following in the footsteps of our successful Blue Notes series, this 10 CD-wallet box presents Prestigious Hits - original albums and stars playing the best of Modern Jazz from the 1950s.

New York had become the world's Jazz Mecca by the 1940s. The glamorous ballrooms, such as the Savoy, were the venues for the greatest swing orchestras, the young beboppers experimented on a new sound and in Harlem's clubs that, as modern jazz, was to form the basis for all Jazz styles from the 1950s on.

These musicians were mostly documented by the kind of independent record labels, that were constantly shooting up from the ground, operated by fans with little finances but all the more ambition and enthusiasm. With the invention of the long-playing album and its establishment in jazz circles from 1956 on, these small businesses, some of which enjoy cult status today, experienced a strong momentum.
