Horace Silver
The Toyko Blues
Blue Note 84110 – Tone Poet Series in a thick gatefold jacket on 180g vinyl

Horace Silvers 1962 tour of Japan had a profound impact on the pianist who returned to the U.S. and dedicated his subsequent albumThe Tokyo Bluesto his fervent Japanese fans. Along with his quintet featuring trumpeterBlue Mitchell, tenor saxophonistJunior Cook, bassistGene Taylor, and drummerJohn Harris Jr., Silver delivered an inspired 5-song set including his alluring originals The Tokyo Blues, Too Much Sake, Sayonara Blues, and Ah! So, as well as Ronnell Brights lovely ballad Cherry Blossom. Silver had noticed a love of Latin music among the Japanese jazz fans he met and in his compositions he sought to combine the Japanese feeling in the melodies with the Latin feeling in the rhythms.

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).
