Blue Note 1051 - Tone Poet Series in a thick gatefold jacket on 180g vinyl

Dexter Gordon experienced a career renaissance with his momentous comeback on Blue Note in the early 1960s which produced numerous all-time classic albums. In 1980, producer Michael Cuscuna dug into the vaults to compile Landslide, a collection released as part of the LT Series that was comprised of previously unreleased tracks that the legendary saxophonist had recorded for the label during three different sessions in 1961-62 with a varied cast of musicians including trumpeters Tommy Turrentine and Dave Burns; pianists Kenny Crew, Sir Charles Thompson, and Sonny Clark; bassists Paul Chambers, Al Lucas, and Ron Carter; and drummers Philly Joe Jones and Willie Bobo. The 7-song set is a showcase of Gordon’s hard-swinging improvisational creativity and brilliant balladry.

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).
