Blue Note 80周年特別企畫-----Tone Poet調音詩神系列
BN總裁&掌門人Don Was邀請發燒音樂神級大師Joe Harley(業者稱為Tone Poet調音詩神-錄音名廠Music Matters大總管)
將進行一系列最高品質重製的Blue Note 經典名盤黑膠再生計畫,精品級特殊包裝----行家尊榮-發燒豪華等級限量版
Blue Note’s new Tone Poets series, a set of vinyl reissues celebrating the legendary label’s sonic voyagers, artists who ploughed their own paths to produce some truly original sounds. The Tone Poets collection was borne of Blue Note President Don Was’s admiration for the exceptional audiophile rereleases issued by the independent company Music Matters. Accordingly, Joe Harley (AKA The Tone Poet) was brought onboard to curate a special series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels. Attention to detail has been paid to getting these right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics to the print quality; from Kevin Gray’s superior vinyl mastering to the 180G audiophile pressings by Record Technology Inc. Consumers will not find superior versions of these LPs.
Andrew Hill /Black Fire (Tone Poet Series)
- Recorded on 8th/9th November 1963 at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
