爵士聞人鮑伯‧溫史塔克以銷售唱片及經營郵購起家，因長期浸淫紐約各大俱樂部裡而與諸多樂手為友，並因熟稔音樂市場生態及唱片公司運作機制而於1949年自創New Jazz廠牌，並於一年後更名為震古鑠今的Prestige唱片，而由薩克斯風手李‧柯尼茲領銜錄製的「潛在意識」即是首張創業之作。Prestige之所以能於爵士洪流熠熠不墜，除仰仗創始人溫史塔克主導品牌走向，由艾拉‧吉特勒、艾斯蒙‧艾德華至唐‧史克利騰組成陣容堅強的製作團隊，再加上魯迪‧范‧蓋爾德音場定位清晰與音色真實鮮活之錄音技術及邁爾‧戴維斯、約翰‧柯川與泰隆尼斯‧孟克等巨擘所向披靡之即興魅力，所發行的作品均成為擲地有聲的經典逸作。本輯收錄Prestige自1949年至1969年間所錄製25首嘔心逸作，各類樂風一應俱全，而於爵士大師氣宇昂揚的流暢演繹或交相對峙的奔騰語彙中，著實印證一個偉大爵士廠牌的傳奇與不朽！
