Kenny Burrell
K.B. Blues
Blue Note 3052 – 180g re-issue LP – Tone Poet Series in a thick gatefold jacket

Kenny Burrellhad been recording for Blue Note less than a year when he entered Rudy Van Gelders Hackensack, New Jersey studio in February 1957 for his 3rd session as a leader for the label. The date presented the guitarists signature stylings with a crack team of hard boppers featuring Horace Silver on piano,Hank Mobleyon tenor saxophone,Doug Watkinson bass, andLouis Hayeson drums. Side 1 finds the band stretching out on a jaunty take of Silvers tune Nicas Dream, written for the jazz baronessPannonica de Koenigswarter, and Burrells hard charging Out for Blood. Side 2 offers up several views of the blues with an excellent version ofLester Youngs D.B. Blues book-ended by two different takes of Burrells easy-going K.B Blues. Previously only issued on vinyl in Japan, this swinging set is given a new shine as part of the Tone Poet Series.

Blue Note Tone Poet Series

The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the Tone Poet, on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

Extreme attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics and printing quality to superior LP mastering (direct from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray to superb 180 gm audiophile LP pressings by Record Technology Inc. Every aspect of these Blue Note/Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. It means that you will never find a superior version. This is IT.

Blue Note Records Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180g audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and vinyl is manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).
