Product Description
Contents: [Blue Note @ 85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) Series 1, First Release] [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive] [UHQCD Specification] This is the latest reissue series, a Japan-exclusive project commemorating the 85th anniversary of Blue Note, the greatest jazz label of all time. It features the latest remastering by Kevin Gray, the engineer who has demonstrated his mastery in US Blue Note analog reissue series such as "Tone Poet" and "Classic Vinyl." By utilizing the digital source he created for the analog reissue, the ultimate analog sound has been achieved, faithfully reproducing the sound of the original master tapes as much as possible. This is an unconventional masterpiece left behind by Larry Young, a solitary organist influenced by Coltrane. Woody Shaw, who provided the originals for three tracks including "Zoltan" and "The Moontrain," and Joe Henderson, who delivers powerful performances throughout, shine through. "Monk's Dream" is a duet with Elvin Jones. Their sharp interplay is a must-listen.
