Kimbrough

[Kevin Bresnahan]

I just received an E-mail from Newvelle Records which got me to buy a record in probably the fastest time in my life:

Introducing KIMBROUGH:

A 61 Track Collection of Jazz Composer and Teacher Frank Kimbrough’s Compositions, Featuring 67 World-Class Artists

Newvelle Records is proud to release this 61-track digital anthology of Frank’s original compositions, recorded as the New York jazz scene reopened in May 2021

Available streaming everywhere and on Bandcamp: https://newvellerecords.bandcamp.com/album/kimbrough

July 16, 2021 – Newvelle Records today is releasing KIMBROUGH, a collection of 61 original compositions by jazz artist and educator Frank Kimbrough, who passed away in December 2020. Featuring tributes from 67 of Frank’s former bandmates, students, and friends across multiple generations, KIMBROUGH was recorded over three and a half days in New York as the musical world began reawakening in May 2021. All proceeds from this definitive collection of Frank’s music, available on high-quality digital download on Bandcamp, will benefit the Frank Kimbrough Jazz Scholarship at The Juilliard School.

It does not look that way. I went ahead and ordered. I have been listening all day while I work.

It's from Newvelle Records. Up until now, they have only released (expensive) LPs, so we might want to consider ourselves lucky that they did it this way.

BTW - they offer this music as .WAV downloads as well as FLAC, MP3, etc. You could download the .WAV versions and burn them to CD-R if you choose. Be aware that it would be a lot of CD-Rs. The .WAV download is 9.9 GB, so that is ~14 CD-Rs.
