Product Description
Contents: [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive] [UHQCD Specification] [First UHQCD Release] Blue Note @ 85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) Second Series, First Release This is the latest reissue series, a Japan-exclusive project commemorating the 85th anniversary of Blue Note, the greatest jazz label in history. It features the latest remastering by Kevin Gray, an 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 sound of the original master tape has been reproduced as faithfully as possible, achieving the ultimate analog sound. This is the third Blue Note album in which the god of polyrhythms unfolds superhuman drumming. There is plenty to enjoy, such as "Agenda," in which the saxophone plays a modal ensemble over the complex rhythms of Elvin and conga player Candido, and the spiritual "Agape Love," which features the flute of composer Joe Farrell.
