A truly groundbreaking landmark recording, Tribute To Bird and Monk, was widely lauded when it was first released in 1978 - credited as one of the best and most unusual albums of that year by Neil Tesser in a Jazz Magazine article that noted the record's 'tough, bright, innovative resiliency' and earning the coveted five star (highest) rating in a Downbeat review by critic Jerry de Muth (who called the two LP set 'a brilliant mixture of arranged and free jazz') and garnering arranger-producer Heiner Stadler a place in the magazine's Annual Critic's Poll as a Talent Deserving Wider Recognition. More than thirty years later, the album originally released on Tomato Records, is a coveted collectors item whose importance has only been compounded with time, while Stadler's pioneering conception continues to be a talent very much deserving of wider recognition. Now reissued as a compact disc on his own Labor Records imprint, it is likely that Stadler's unique talent will again be heard as deserving increased attention and the music will once more be praised on a level comparable to when it first appeared. The considerable artistic success of Stadler's pioneering project can be credited as much to his visionary assembling of a truly distinctive ensemble to perform his inventive orchestrations, described by de Muth as 'far more than arrangements,' noting that 'recompositions would be a better term.'
