A delicious irony surrounds the Hip Jazz-Bop series: clever, au courant packaging serves to renew a period of jazz that, at the time, would shortly go out of fashion, at least in its native land (and at least until the renaissance helmed by the so-monikered "Young Lions"). Bop masters, like Kenny Dorham, Johnny Griffin, and Howard McGhee, had found it necessary to go to Europe to find work in the 1960s. Fortunately, Black Lion documented the musicians' work, and the label's vaults serve as the roster for these snazzy, repackaged compilations. Cuts like Lee Konitz's "Skylark," Ben Webster's "Autumn Leaves," and Griffin's languid "Sophisticated Lady" more than justify the fancy marketing, obviously designed to make classic jazz hip and cool to today's generation. Thelonious Monk's "Nutty," Wardell Gray's "One for Prez," and Zoot Sims's "Mr. Moon" certainly stand the test of time, still sounding authoritative and faithfully rendering a period when serious bebop jazz found its most appreciative audience in Europe. --Wally Shoup
