MORE INFO:
The American Recording Society was a music subscription service from the mid- to late '50s. The Jazz Entertainment Division of the Society issued several high-quality LPs, usually featuring artists from one of Norman Granz's labels, Clef, Norgan, and Verve. Some but not all of the albums were replications in all or in part of the Granz releases. Generally, not all the cuts that were on the major label showed up on ARS releases. This made for some recordings that were short, but very important nonetheless. A great service to the jazz community would be made if someone managed to gather up all these ARS recordings and reissue them as a commemorative box. In the meantime, scouring second-hand record bins and/or auctions is the only way to find these gems. ~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide
