Third Man Records and Blue Note Records share this esteem as well a commitment to integrity regarding the musical legacies of their home cities. The five albums in the Third Man-Blue Note 313 Series Partnership highlight the best of the Motor City – innovative sounds, incredible playing and that inexplicable something you know is real. From the beautiful compositions by Kenny Cox and the Contemporary Jazz Quintet to the psychedelic funk of Donald Byrd, it is impossible to pigeonhole the Detroit sound but the current running through these recordings affirms just why the musical legacy from the 313 area code remains beloved around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Third Man","offers":[{"title":"LP - 180g Black Vinyl","offer_id":46961178083673,"sku":"SDZ-19391","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Kenny_Cox_And_The_Contemporary_Jazz_Quintet_-_Multidirection_-_Third_Man_Records_313_Series.jpg?v=1690458155","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/kenny-cox-and-the-contemporary-jazz-quintet-multidirection-blue-note-x-third-man-records-313-series","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
