Criada em 1982 pela Fantasy, a série Original Jazz Classics (OJC) foi a casa do catálogo jazz impressionante da editora, com o propósito de reeditar álbuns de jazz influentes com o máximo cuidado e reverência pelos originais, desde a arte da capa, até aos textos e gravação audio. A paixão da Craft Recordings pela meticulosa preservação e qualidade, tornou natural o renascimento da OJC em 2023.

Since its inception in 1982, Fantasy's Original Jazz Classics® (OJC) series quickly established a reputation as the go-to imprint for collectible jazz reissues. OJC served as a home for the label’s impressive jazz catalog – which had grown to include thousands of celebrated titles from Prestige, Galaxy, Milestone, Riverside, Debut, Contemporary, Jazzland, and Pablo. Drawing on this vast wealth of material, Original Jazz Classics released over 850 titles.

Its goal was simple: to reissue influential jazz albums with the utmost care and reverence for the originals — from the cover art and liner notes to the audio recordings themselves. Given Craft Recordings' shared passion for meticulous preservation and quality, it is a natural step to relaunch Original Jazz Classics as part of the Craft family.

2023 will see the continuation of this influential jazz series on audiophile-quality vinyl and new hi-res digital, through the ongoing release of several of the most coveted (and long out-of-print) albums in this vast collection.
