Contents: [Limited Edition] [Blue Note RVG Rare Album Collection] [Rudy Van Gelder 100th Anniversary] [SHM-CD] [Japan Exclusive] Rudy Van Gelder (RVG), one of the greatest engineers in jazz history, recorded numerous masterpieces for Blue Note, Prestige, Impulse!, and others. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth, the hit series "24 bit by RVG" is being reissued. Starting in 1998, he began digitally remastering his own Blue Note recordings, reviving the innovative Blue Note sound for the CD era. This time, 30 rare albums that have not been reissued in Japan in recent years have been carefully selected and reissued in SHM-CD format. A popular album by pianist Horace Parlan, who powerfully drives the music with his unique playing style. The same formidable trio as on the masterpiece "Us Three" is joined by the superb conga player Ray Barrett. The dynamic and exciting "Kongarekle" is a track that has been re-evaluated in the British club scene. The ballad performances of "Summertime" and "Prelude to a Kiss" are also deeply moving.
