Product Description
Contents: [Limited Edition] [Japan Exclusive] [Single Layer SACD - SHM Specification] Blue Note @85 (Remastered by Kevin Gray) SACD Selection Vol. 2 To commemorate the 85th anniversary of Blue Note, the greatest jazz label of all time, 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 their fourth album and masterpiece, recorded just four and a half months after their Blue Note debut album, "Black Fire." The lineup has been expanded to a sextet, developing an even more textured and abstract sound. Eric Dolphy's role, in particular, is significant, as he participates on three different instruments. From the very first track, the listener is overwhelmed by a series of otherworldly sounds that seem to float in the air.
