The series presents affordable, high-quality reissues in standard packaging that are mastered by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio and manufactured on 180g vinyl at Optimal Media in Germany. The pressings are all-analog whenever an analog source is available, with Gray mastering directly from the original master tapes.Blue Note Records has recorded the legends of Jazz and has traced the entire evolution of the music from the early days of Boogie Woogie, Hot Jazz and Swing, through the innovations of Bebop, Hard Bop, Post-Bop, Soul Jazz, Avant-Garde, and 70s Fusion, and into the vibrant sounds of Jazzs many modern-day incarnations. The Classic Vinyl Series is curated by Don Was and Cem Kurosman and is broad in its scope. The series reissues the best-known Blue Note classics from the 1950s and 60s, but also goes deeper, exploring the many different eras and styles of the legendary labels eight-decade history with the aim of telling our story and fully representing the Blue Note motto: The Finest In Jazz Since 1939.The musical partnership between vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson a Blue Note stalwart since his arrival on the New York jazz scene in 1963 and tenor saxophonist Harold Land fully blossomed on the 1970 album San Francisco, though the musicians had already been exploring the far reaches of post-bop going back to 1968 on albums including Total Eclipse, Spiral, and Medina. On San Francisco they joined forces with pianist Joe Sample, bassist John Williams, and drummer Mickey Roker to form a band with a muscular sound that set a foot firmly in fusion on relentlessly grooving tunes like Goin Down South and Ummh, while indulging a wide range of other influences which gave the group its distinctive flavor, from the Latin-tinged numbers Jazz and A Night In Barcelona to exploratory pieces like the mesmerizing Prints Tie and transcendent Procession.Musicians:Bobby Hutcherson, vibraphone & percussionJohn Williams, bassMickey Roker, drumsJoe Sample, pianoHarold Land, tenor saxophoneFeatures: Blue Note Classic Vinyl Reissue Series All analog 180g vinyl LP Mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original master tapes Manufactured at Optimal in Germany Standard packaging
