Contents: [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive] [UHQCD Specification] Blue Note @ 85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) 3rd Series, 1st Release 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, 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 ultimate analog sound has been achieved, faithfully reproducing the sound of the original master tapes as much as possible. A masterpiece that allows you to experience the unique individuality of the aesthetic trumpeter who represented the Count Basie Orchestra at the time. His understated rendition of "April in Paris" is wonderful. Max Roach's exquisite brushwork also shines. The emotionally charged ballad "If Someone Had Told Me" and the stylish standard "If I Love Again" are also wonderful.
