Blue Note 84158 – Tone Poet Series in a thick gatefold jacket on 180g vinyl

In the 1960s, Blue Notes roster of organists was second to none with leading Hammond B3 practitioners likeJimmy Smith,Big John Patton, andLarry Youngeach honing their own distinctive styles on the instrument.Freddie Roachwas first introduced to Blue Note listeners on Ike Quebecs albumsHeavy SoulandIt Might As Well Be Springand soon began his own run of leader dates for the label including the 1963 standoutGood MovefeaturingBlue Mitchellon trumpet,Hank Mobleyon tenor saxophone,Eddie Wrighton guitar, andClarence Johnstonon drums. This soul jazz classic makes all the right moves with set highlights including When Malindy Sings, anOscar Brownsong that was performed byAbbey Lincoln, and Roachs own church-rooted Wine, Wine, Wine and On Our Way Up, an uplifting anthem that he wrote on the day of the historic March on Washington.

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).
