Never thought you would hear Canadian Brass joined by jazz piano? How about electric bass?
Unknown to many, it's already been done! In the early 1970s, the Brass challenged the perception of musical boundaries through two recordings which were among the first to create the brand-new "crossover" genre. These classic LPs, Rag-Ma-Tazz and Unexplored Territory, are presented in Jazz Roots for the first time in one CD package, as a homage to the story of jazz.
