Columbia Jazz Masterpieces was a series of jazz CD, LP and cassette reissues from Columbia Records which began in 1986. Written inside the blue box used on all the album covers "Digitally Remastered Directly from the Original Analog Tapes." In Europe, the series was known as CBS Jazz Masterpieces, with the reissues being released by CBS Records, until 1991, when the Columbia Jazz Masterpieces title was used on all subsequent releases and represses.
Michael Brooks was the producer for the oldest records reissued as part of the series, using the CEDAR process to digitally remaster them.
