Originally released in 2006 by the New York audiophile label Chesky Records, West of 5th brings together a true jazz "supergroup" featuring the rare chemistry of three legendary titans spanning multiple generations. The recording captures the historic swing of the incomparable Hank Jones on piano and master drummer Jimmy Cobb - immortalised for his work on Miles Davis's seminal Kind of Blue - alongside the modern virtuosity of bassist Christian McBride. The album stands as a definitive display of absolute jazz mastery, offering a breathtaking document of three generations of jazz royalty effortlessly interlocking in the studio.
The performance highlights a powerhouse trio operating at the absolute peak of their musical communication, delivering a pristine selection of timeless jazz standards and dazzling interplay. Balancing Jones's elegant, soulful phrasing with McBride's commanding, fluid basslines and Cobb's legendary, immaculate pocket, the album is a masterclass in acoustic dynamics and trio swing. Despite the immense critical acclaim for this landmark session, the repertoire has been locked away for years, cementing its status as an essential, highly sought-after piece of jazz history.
West of 5th will be released on 180g One-Step Pressing half white / half grey vinyl LP and limited to just 500 copies exclusively for Record Store Day Black Friday UK. Arriving just in time for its 20th Anniversary, this special release marks the first-ever vinyl pressing of the album, which has been long out of print since its original CD run. The LP features a colour variant that will remain strictly exclusive to this Record Store Day run. This release is a part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
