I Giganti Del Jazz GJ-8
The Italian publishing company Armando Curcio Editore released, under the record label Curcio, a 100 volume jazz collection entitled I Giganti Del Jazz. This series is quite haphazardly documented on RYM, so I've tried to make a list that covers all the releases and artists included, and if I've got the album, a scan of the cover, credit information and the track list. I'm not sure how the titles of these albums work, it's either; I Giganti Del Jazz, and the volume number, or the main artists included, for example volume 30 could be titled Dizzy Gillespie Gerry Mulligan. As I can't be sure, I've opted for the more logical first choice. The albums from this series had gatefold covers with all the information about the artists included and the reason for the session on the inner cover. Unfortunately my Italian isn't quite what it should be, so I can't include a synopsis of that information. This list is a bit of a labor of love, so I'm making it public before I've completed it.
