Description
Initially, the name was meant literally - the music produced by this ensemble should be timeless - one should be able to listen to it again and again throughout the years, independently from the prevailing zeitgeist. The title is also absolutely right: they were "All Stars" - true masters in their respective fields.
All the artists who came together to form this artist name have proven - over decades in different bands - that they were masters of jazz: the saxophonist Harold Land, the trombonist Curtis Fuller and Bobby Hutcherson on the vibraphone; they were accompanied by a rhythm section which was always more than just that - with Cedar Walton at the piano, the bassist Buster Williams and Billy Higgins, one of the most outstanding drummers of jazz.
Available on CD jewel case in a slipcase with a 12-page booklet and a 2LP-set on heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. Both formats feature extended liner notes in English and German by Michael Laages.
Personnel: Curtis Fuller (trombone), Harold Land (tenor saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone), Buster Williams (bass), Billy Higgins (drums).
