From the cover: The 44 label is a milestone in the history of Australian Jazz. The idea behind 44 began in Europe over thirty years ago, the time when, the executive producer of the 44 label Horst Liepolt, as he puts it "began to dig jazz man". Horst was acting as the tour manager for several groups traveling all over the Old World.
In 1955 Horst founded Jazz Centre 44 in Melbourne, named after the year he had his first love affair with jazz and brought together a nucleus of Australian jazz men in an atmosphere of creative freedom.
This good time feeling has been recaptured in Sydney's "Basement" over the last couple of years where capacity houses have experienced the cream of the contemporary talent.
This album will give you an exciting picture of Australian Jazz, put it on your turntable and let the "Spirit of 44" speak for itself.
