Captain Coe’s Famous Racearound showcases the work of saxophonist Tony Coe, the first non-American to receive the jazz world’s ultimate accolade - the Jazzpar Prize, which he was awarded in 1995.

All tracks on this album were recorded during the Jazzpar award concerts with both The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra conducted by Bob Brookmeyer and the 1995 Jazzpar Combo. This remastered edition features redesigned artwork by the Danish star graphic artist Finn Nygaard, new liner notes by Brian Priestley and photos by Jan Persson. 

Tony Coe wrote a substantial new work for the Jazzpar award concerts and the complex Captain Coe’s Famous Racearound, according to its composer, was completed within a few days “in an atmosphere of white heat". The small-group set with the Jazzpar Combo also includes a Coe composition featuring the excellent solo work of Bob Brookmeyer. Also heard are two pieces by London and Paris-based drummer Steve Arguelles.
