In 1984, this 4-LP box was compiled and released, celebrating Mercury label's 40th anniversary. This great box contains many previously unreleased materials which were discovered by famous Mr. Kiyoshi Koyama. 47 tracks, all of which are previously unissued, are from Mercury, EmArcy and Limelight recordings. On the liner-notes booklet, we can read Mr. Leonard Feather's impressive introduction essay, and Mr. Dan Morgenstern's tune-by-tune detailed commentaries. However, all takes are long hidden treasures: it's really unbelievable that they had not been available public for long years. The album starts with Erroll Garner's unreleased takes from first session on Mercury (Dec. 5, 1945); followed by invaluable recordings by Gene Ammons, Jay McShann, Arnett Cobb, Clark Terry, all of which were recorded during 78rpm-to-LP transition era; a gem of EmArcy unissued recordings by Dinah Washington, Paul Quinichette, Paul Bley, Clifford Brown, Herb Geller, Maynard Ferguson, Jimmy Cleveland, Cannonball Adderley; Mercury recordings by Quincy Jones, Roland Kirk, Billy Taylor, Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet, Bob James; and the last contents are awesome unissued takes by Dizzy Gillespie for Limelight's “Charlie Parker Memorial Album”
