Description
John Lewis' complete 1956 album 2 Degrees East - 3 Degrees West (Pacific Jazz PJ1217). It showcases Lewis outside of his usual MJQ habitat, performing in a quintet setting with Jim Hall, Bill Perkins, Percy Heath and Chico Hamilton. These are the only existing collaborations of Lewis with either Bill Perkins or Chico Hamilton. As a bonus, five additional collaborative small group recordings of Lewis and Jim Hall, among them a second version of the title tune, "2 Degrees East - 3 Degrees West". Includes 12-page booklet.
The Poll Winners label is devoted to the CD reissue of albums that received the maximum 5-star rating in a Down Beat album review. This only rarely happened, and most of the Down Beat albums have become true classics revered by all music lovers. These new editions present the complete original 5-star albums, which are expanded to include interesting bonus albums or tracks by the artist at the peak of their talents.
