Product Description
Contents: [Blue Note @ 85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) Series 1, Part 2] [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 the debut leader album of Glasian Moncar III, a new mainstream trombonist who played in the Jackie McLean Group. McLean, Lee Morgan, Bobby Hutcherson, and others participate, creating a richly creative sound. The title track is unusual in that the main theme consists only of whole tones. The catchy yet hard-boiled "The Coaster" is a masterpiece.
