RCA's legacy includes
a treasure trove of masters from the greatest names in jazz. Beginning
in 1917 with the first-ever authentic jazz sides from the Original
Dixieland Jazz Band, RCA would go on to record such jazz giants as Jelly
Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Benny
Goodman, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra
and Tommy Dorsey and, in later years, Sonny Rollins and Paul
Desmond. Bluebird continues to serve as the proud home of RCA's jazz
reissue program, drawing from an unrivalled legacy of the greatest names
in the history of the genre. Recent reissues include the best selling Platinum
Glen Miller, Sonny Rollins’ The Bridge, and the
acclaimed blues series When The Sun Goes Down including reissues
from Leadbelly, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Arthur “Big Boy”
Crudup.
In the contemporary era, Bluebird continues the RCA legacy producing
records from great jazz artists like pianist Marcus Roberts and
Downbeat Triple Crown award-winner Dave Douglas. Most recently
Bluebird has been working with the award-winning supergroup Fourplay
and Brazilian vocalist/pianist Eliane Elias, as well as jazz
trumpeter Tom Harrell and the Grammy nominated Cabo Verdean diva Cesaria
Evora. In addition, recent signings of superstar guitarist Larry
Carlton as well as renowned drummer Harvey Mason continue to
raise the standard for extraordinary jazz in the new millennium.
