Zev Feldman’s RSD run
Collector‑focused reporting finds producer Zev Feldman is attached to 11 Record Store Day releases this year — ten archival titles and one rare reissue — with a strong tilt toward jazz and blues material. (goldminemag.com) Coverage frames Feldman’s slate as a dominant archival lane that could steer collector traffic toward catalog offerings on April 18. (goldminemag.com)
Producer Zev Feldman is attached to 11 Record Store Day 2026 releases, a cluster of jazz and blues titles landing at independent shops on Saturday, April 18. (goldminemag.com) Goldmine reported that 10 of those 11 records are archival releases and one is a reissue, spread across Resonance Records, Elemental Music and Time Traveler. Record Store Day’s official site says this year’s special titles go on sale at participating stores on April 18, and stores choose for themselves which titles to stock. (goldminemag.com) (recordstoreday.com) The biggest block comes from Resonance’s Jazz Showcase series: Joe Henderson’s *Consonance* in a 3-LP edition limited to 2,000 copies, Ahmad Jamal’s *At the Jazz Showcase* in a 2-LP edition limited to 2,000, Yusef Lateef’s *Alight Upon the Lake* in a 3-LP edition limited to 1,800, and Mal Waldron’s *Stardust & Starlight* in a 2-LP edition limited to 1,800. All four are billed by Record Store Day as first official or previously unissued live releases from Chicago club tapes. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) (recordstoreday.com 3) (recordstoreday.com 4) Feldman’s slate also reaches beyond Chicago archives. Record Store Day lists Freddie King’s *Feelin’ Alright: The Complete 1975 Nancy Pulsations Concert* as a 3-LP “RSD First” title limited to 2,050 copies, Bill Evans’ *At The BBC: The Complete 1965 London Sets* as a 2-LP exclusive limited to 3,500, Cecil Taylor Unit’s *Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts* as a 3-LP archival set, Roy Hargrove’s 2000 Bern Jazz Festival performance as a first official release, and Buster Williams’ 1975 *Pinnacle* as a reissue. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) (recordstoreday.com 3) (recordstoreday.com 4) (recordstoreday.com 5) Record Store Day was created in 2007 by independent record store owners and held its first event on April 19, 2008. The organization says nearly 1,400 independently owned stores in the United States and thousands more internationally now participate. (recordstoreday.com 1) (recordstoreday.com 2) The event’s rules shape how a concentrated run like Feldman’s can play out in stores. Record Store Day says it does not sell the releases itself, does not require stores to carry every title, and does not allow pre-orders for the official list. (recordstoreday.com) That setup gives limited-run catalog titles a direct shot at opening-day demand. Tracking Angle wrote that jazz buyers “might as well mail your wallet” to Feldman because he has “a whole slate of archival releases across three labels,” and it highlighted the copy counts on several of the Jazz Showcase titles. (trackingangle.com) The records also fit a pattern Feldman has built over several recent Record Store Day cycles. Official archives show Resonance and Elemental had earlier Feldman-led exclusives built around previously unheard sets by artists including Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, Yusef Lateef, Kenny Dorham, Charles Mingus and Freddie Hubbard. (recordstoreday.com) (recordstoreday.com) (recordstoreday.com) (recordstoreday.com) For April 18, the practical question is simpler than the discography. Record Store Day says the releases start at participating brick-and-mortar shops, and if Feldman’s 11-title lane is stocked locally, jazz and blues collectors will find a large share of this year’s archival action in one corner of the bins.
