It's About Love
70 Minutes of pure Love! Since the beginning of time, musicians have used their gifts to celebrate the joys of Love. Arkadia Jazz has put together a CD that celebrates the romantic, intimate side of jazz, and musically explores the unanswerable question: What is Love? Featuring Benny Golson, Billy Taylor, David Liebman, Randy Brecker, Joanne Brackeen, and newcomers Nigel Clark, Paul Tobey, and Uli Lenz.

The Stars of Jazz #1
To the younger generations who never got to see Coltrane, Bird or Miles, the current jazz masters are the true link to the great historical figures. Billy Taylor, Benny Golson, Joanne Brackeen, David Liebman, Harold Land, Pat Metheny and Dave Holland - all of whom have played with the Great Ones - now carry the jazz torch. Even though we can choose to look back, jazz can only move forward. But the future is for us to hear, right now.

The New Young Lions of Jazz
The artists featured on this CD are the legends of the future. They are the "new sounds" in the rich legacy of jazz. You can hear each brick being laid, each branch snapping, and each step taken in a new direction as they evolve their sound, sometimes right before your eyes and ears. You may like contemporary jazz. You may like classic jazz. But don't miss out on hearing these future legends just because they're young. They're already Masters, the history books just may not show it yet.

Out and Out Jazz
The artists on this compilation represent the very best "out" jazz on Arkadia and Postcards. We chose music that had real appeal to the head, the heart, the mind and soul. We also selected songs by artists that represent the continuing spirit of the "New Thing". Arkadia and Postcards Records want to show the world that modern jazz doesn't have to be inaccessable, hard-to-find, high-priced music that only a select few can enjoy. Featuring Pat Metheny, Paul Bley, Reggie Workman, Andrew Hill, Gary Peacock and others.

Thank You, Joe!
The Joe Henderson Project (Eric Reed, Carl Allen, Rodney Whitaker, Javon Jackson, Terrell Stafford, Randy Brecker and Steve Nelson-plus a special appearance by Arkadia Jazz recording artist Joanne Brackeen, who was Joe Henderson’s pianist for a number of years) interprets some of the songs (that typify the Henderson sound and spirit in their own unique style and manner. All of the artists on this collection have benefited from Joe's music and influence, and their musical statements say more than any written words can convey. Reached #3 on Gavin radio charts!

Thank You, Duke!
The depth and breadth of Duke Ellington's work is testament to his ongoing monumental creativity throughout his career. A century after the creation of jazz, Duke sits ensconced in the jazz pantheon, having pioneered a style that remains very much alive on the contemporary scene. In this exciting recording, a talented and diverse collection of musicians-each in his or her own style and manner-pays tribute to Duke Ellington on the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Thank You, John!
From bebop to hip-hop to bossa nova, all of the artists on this album have benefited from John Coltrane's music and teaching. Wide in scope and deep in nature, Coltrane's influence remains alive 30 years after his death and will surely be felt many years into the future.

Thank You, Gerry!
On this beautiful tribute album, you "hear some of the unforgettable melodies and voicings and clear form that will always be remembered as the Mulligan sound." Quotations from liner notes by Dave Brubeck. Grammy Nomninee for Randy Brecker's performance on "My Funny Valentine"!
