Horizon will present a series of records intended to capture important new music for those interested in the remarkable and unpredictable evolution of jazz. All Horizon album covers will be gatefold and, in most cases, will contain extensive liner notes, along with transcribed solos, a lead sheet of a selected composition, a diagram of the stereo mix of one of the selections, a graphic score of one selection (what instrument is playing when), artists' comments, and photographs. All Horizon pressings will be of the highest quality available to ensure the ultimate sonic experience. Each record will be packaged in a plastic lined inner sleeve.

All Horizon albums will be available from the 30th January
