Blue Note 1565 – Tone Poet Series

The under-recognized tenor saxophonistClifford Jordanblew in from Chicago in 1957 and recorded a trio of excellent Blue Note sessions over a prolific 8-month span including the self-titled albumCliff Jordan. Jordans 2nd date for the label was a generous serving of smoldering bop featuring a robust septet withLee Morganon trumpet,Curtis Fulleron trombone,John Jenkinson alto sax,Ray Bryanton piano,Paul Chamberson bass, andArt Tayloron drums. The band stretches out on extended takes of Jordans Not Guilty, Jenkins St. John, and Fullers Blue Shoes before an 18-year-old Morgan takes the spotlight on his tune Ju-Ba to close the set.

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).
