Original Jazz Classics 2025 – Six essential new titles!

Craft's "Original Jazz Classics" series continues in 2025!

Craft Recordings announces six new reissues from Original Jazz Classics (OJC), the audiophile series celebrating critically lauded, fan-adored seminal jazz albums. The latest installment features newly remastered editions of Bill Evans’ Interplay and Moon Beams, Lee Morgan’s Here’s Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter’s Introducing Wayne Shorter, Benny Golson’s Gone With Golson, and Ken McIntyre & Eric Dolphy’s Looking Ahead. Spanning the late ’50s through early ’60s, these albums capture pivotal creative moments from some of the genre’s most revered figures. The Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter titles mark the first titles from Vee Jay Records to be included in the Original Jazz Classics series. All six albums will drop between May 30 and July 25, 2025.

Continuing OJC’s commitment to quality, the reissues feature lacquers cut from the original stereo tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, 180-gram vinyl pressed at RTI, and tip-on jackets reproducing the original artwork. All titles will also be released digitally in 192/24 hi-res audio, launching alongside their physical counterparts.
