Jazz, once outlawed in the Soviet Union, finally gotofficial approval when the Benny Goodman Band spent a rapturously receivedsix-week tour there in mid-1962. Back stateside, eight from the band, includingZoot Sims and Phil Woods, with guests Eddie Costa and Marky Markowitz, commemoratedthe tour by recording Jazz Mission to Moscow, an ebulliently swinging album ofjazz standards and Russian popular songs arranged by Al Cohn.

It was soon followed by one with an even more pronouncedRussian flavour. Vic Feldman, vibist on the Goodman small combo numbers duringthe tour, had enhanced his knowledge of Russian musical activity and, back onthe West Coast, recorded Soviet Jazz Themes, an album of jazz compositions bylocal composers. His choice of players was vindicated by the work of CarmellJones, Nat Adderley, Harold Land, Joe Zawinul, Herb Ellis, Bob Whitlock, FrankButler and Feldman himself.

In December 1962, however, the soviets slammed the door onjazz again. Responding, Radio Liberty launched a half-hour weekly programme ofUS modern jazz in June 1963, broadcasted through Europe from its base in thebeach of Pals (Spain). This eries became a showcase for Soviet jazz composerswhen members of the Benny Goodman group recorded with other top musicians somejazz originals composed by their Soviet counterparts. Al Cohn was once againassigned to score the tunes, and Jazz at Liberty, featuring such luminaries asArt Farmer, Bob Brookmeyer, Phil Woods and Zoot Sims was the impressive result.
