NAXOS jazz label

[Jazzrook]

As NAXOS jazz CDs were mentioned elsewhere by Beef Oven!, Bluesnik & Ian I thought it might be worth having a thread devoted to this short-lived label.
My only NAXOS jazz CD is 'I Don't Know This World Without Don Cherry' by the New York Jazz Collective'.
An impressive band assembled by the pianist Mike Nock in 1996 with Marty Ehrlich(clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, alto sax); Baikida Carroll(trumpet, flugelhorn); Frank Lacy(trombone); Michael Formanek(bass); Pheeroan ak Laff or Steve Johns(drums).
Here's the title-track:

...and here's a list of other NAXOS jazz CDs many of which are still available via Amazon including Bluesnik's missing Donny McCaslin:

Wow! Just listened through that YouTube New York Jazz Collective track Jazzrook gave the link to. What music-making! And the sound quality seems excellent.

Managed to get a copy of the album on Amazon for just over £4 all-in. The withdrawal of this label would appear to be more of a blow than I realised.

I have a couple of Umo Jazz Orchestra Naxos CDs and some other titles here and there. Naxos Direct seem to have some stock of this label.
