CTI Records shaped the sound of sophisticated jazz fusion in the 1970s and beyond, producing some of the most beautiful, orchestrated soul-jazz records ever made. This 2015 Masterworks Jazz box set is a masterclass in the label's vision—lush orchestral arrangements meeting jazz improvisation and funk grooves. CTI (Creed Taylor Inc.) pioneered what you might call the "cool revolution," proving that jazz could be beautiful, accessible, and soulful simultaneously. You'll hear everything from Latin jazz to string-laden funk, soul, and sophisticated pop-jazz. The roster reads like a who's who of 1970s jazz excellence. This is music that sounds timeless—the orchestration is pristine, the performances are elegant, the grooves are deep. Four CDs of essential material, beautifully curated.
