My review of Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition box set, today at All About Jazz.
The veteran drummer's longest-lasting group, though not without significant personnel shifts over the years, this ECM box collects the first four albums that started it all - two out of print and one, 1983's Inflation Blues, appearing on CD for the first - in newly remastered form, as part of its Old & New Masters Series, including previously unreleased photos and new liner notes.
The first record, 1980's Special Edition, was an instant masterpiece, but each successive record had its own charms, its own things to recommend, and with Special Edition, the box set, they're all back in print in a budget-priced collection.
