Blue Note 84218 re-issue LP in Blue Note’s Tone Poet Series in a thick gatefold jacket

Alto saxophonistJackie McLeans 1960s output ran the gamut from hard bop to the avant-garde with his 1964 post-bop datesIts Time!andActionsplitting the difference. TrumpeterCharles Tolliverhad appeared alongside McLean in the horn frontline onIts Time!and returned once again forActionthe next month, with McLean opting forBobby Hutchersons vibraphone in place of piano, as well asCecil McBeeon bass, andBilly Higginson drums. The albums leaps out of the gate with McLeans searing title track followed by two pensive Tolliver originals: Plight and Wrong Handle. On a highly original version of the standard I Hear a Rhapsody the melody is answered by discordant interjections from the horns before the album comes to a close with McLeans grooving minor key piece Hootnan.

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.
