about

Initially released on Concord Records on CD in 1988, Swainson’s only album, 49th Parallel is extremely rare and sought out making its vinyl debut. The recording features a quintet with jazz legends Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, trumpeter Woody Shaw, drummer Jerry Fuller and Gary Williamson on piano. The album was Shaw’s last studio session.

Available on September 11, the CD and digital download contain one bonus track, “Labyrinth”, not included on the original CD and is available as part of the LP via a QR download code. The deluxe package features new liner notes by Phil Dwyer, an interview with Swainson by producer Cory Weeds and rare photographs by Mark Miller and Alice Su. The LP is pressed on 180-gram vinyl packaged in a gatefold sleeve.

This is the 4th release from the Cellar Music historical archival imprint Reel To Real Records.

Dizzy Atmosphere

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz
