Product Description
Contents: [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive Project] [Single Layer SACD - SHM Specification] Blue Note @85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) SACD Selection Vol. 1 To commemorate the 85th anniversary of Blue Note, the greatest jazz label in history, this is the latest reissue series, "Blue Note @85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray)," a Japan-exclusive project. A selection of particularly popular masterpieces have been released in single-layer SACD - SHM specification format! This release 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 96kHz/24bit digital source he created for the analog reissues, 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 Joe Henderson, a tenor saxophonist representing the new mainstream. Kenny Dorham recognized this newcomer's talent and recommended him to Blue Note, and he also contributed his own composition, "Blue Bossa," to this album. This song has become a jazz standard and is still loved by many players today. Henderson's "Recorda Me" is also popular. The saxophone solo has a strangely floating quality, and the melody lingers in your ears forever.
