B 12 194B ©cib 7 4 90 Bob Thiele, Signature President, announces release of Recordings for Jazz Collectors "For the past twelve years, as musician, critic, radio conductor, jam session supervisor and judge, I have attempted to advance the neglected art form we call jazz by recording contemporary classics as they have been interpreted by the great artistmusicians of this age. "Now, with the formation of the Signature Recording Corporation I have pressed and released special editions of these classics . . . collector's items by such jazz immortals as the brilliant pianists Eddie Heywood, James P. Johnson, Earl Hines, the late Nat Laffe, and Dave Bowman; by such sensational "Sax" greats as Coleman Hawkins and "Flip" Phillips; by RECORDS clarinetists Barney Bigard and Bill Stegemeyr; by trombonist Dicky Wells and trumpeter Shorty Sherock. "These clean-cut, long-lived, balanced recordings will, I hope, find their way into the collections of those whose sincere love for jazz has helped foster a growing appreciation for an art form that is so peculiarly and happily American."
