Named and patterned after the famed New York City Latin Quarter nightclub that hosted legendary artists since 1942, Tokyo’s New Latin Quarter—Japan’s jewel of a nightclub built on the site of the suspiciously destroyed original Latin Quarter—set the standard for entertainment from the East.

From 1959-1989, the venue hosted a veritable who’s who of American and UK jazz and pop legends who worked wonders for East-West relations–Nat “King” Cole, Sammy Davis, Jr., Pat Boone, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Connie Francis, Ray Charles, James Brown, B.B. King, Tom Jones, The Supremes and Chubby Checker, among many others.

Now, thanks to an exciting, “accidental” discovery of hundreds of hours of tapes from these live vintage performances, the formation of a new worldwide company has risen. The famed Tokyo nightclub organization has established record, documentary and publishing divisions to release these historic, never before heard archival live recordings of these superstar acts.

Jay Warner’s worldwide publishing organization National League Music is setting up global distribution for an incredible series of digitally re-mastered “Western Music Comes East” compilations and multi-media projects featuring these rare unearthed treasures. In the U.S., distribution will be handled by Omni/Select-O-Hits.

“Over 300 live recordings from artists who appeared at New Latin Quarter have been languishing for almost 50 years,” says Shintaro Yamamoto, Chairman of newly formed New Latin Quarter (NLQ) Entertainment. “The new alliance of NLQ Entertainment, Kosaido Akatsuki Corporation of Japan, Parteneri-Whitehouse Alliance Japan and worldwide publishing organization National League Music has changed all that.”

Warner, President and CEO of National League Music, will also be representing the combined companies’ book and documentary activities worldwide. Harvey White, Co-CEO, Parteneri-Whitehouse Alliance Japan, Inc., and Warner will be creating a historical documentary of The New Latin Quarter. The multi-media project will also include the creation of a massive coffee table book with over 500 never before seen photos of major acts appearing at the historic club for holiday season 2010 with a companion CD.

There will be five CDs released in 2010, beginning with The Best of New Latin Quarter, Jazz & Blues, Volume 1 now available. This set features a rare glimpse of Chubby Checker in blues ballad mode, performing “Georgia On My Mind” and Nat “King” Cole gracing the Sinatra associated “The Way You Look Tonight.”

The set also includes performances by Nancy Wilson, Keely Smith, Louis Armstrong featuring Junnie Brown, Patti Page, Julie London, Europe’s Caterina Valente, Bobby Troop, Sammy Davis, Jr., the Harry James Orchestra and The Mills Brothers.

The Best of New Latin Quarter, Volume Two is set for release July 1, with Volume Three to follow August 3.
