Contents: [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive] [UHQCD Specification] [First UHQCD Release] 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 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 ultimate analog sound has been achieved, faithfully reproducing the sound of the original master tapes as much as possible. A collection of brilliant performances recorded on the same day as the hit album "Midnight Special," which dominated the US charts. The soulful tenor saxophone of Stanley Turrentine, in his first collaboration with Blue Note, and the bluesy guitar of Kenny Burrell, who participates on two tracks, are a perfect match. The album starts with the earthy title track and builds to a groovy atmosphere.
