VA • Blue Note 101 Jazz Icons

 



Review by Gregory Heaney
Blue Note Records has been home to some of the greatest names in jazz, and with its Blue Note 101 series, the storied label has been looking to introduce a whole new crop of listeners to some of the legendary artists on its roster with a series of introductory compilations. On Blue Note 101: Jazz Icons, the series gets to the real meat of the jazz world with a collection featuring some of the most influential names in the genre. Featuring tracks like Thelonious Monk's manic "Four in One" and John Coltrane's smoothly propulsive "Moment's Notice," the compilation will set new listeners down the path of enlightenment toward a cooler tomorrow.

Reseña de Gregory Heaney
Blue Note Records ha sido el hogar de algunos de los grandes nombres del jazz, y con su serie Blue Note 101, el histórico sello busca presentar a una nueva generación de oyentes algunos de los artistas legendarios de su catálogo con una serie de recopilatorios introductorios. En Blue Note 101: Jazz Icons, la serie llega a la esencia del mundo del jazz con una colección que incluye a algunos de los nombres más influyentes del género. Con temas como el frenético "Four in One" de Thelonious Monk y el ágil "Moment's Notice" de John Coltrane, el recopilatorio guiará a los nuevos oyentes hacia un futuro más prometedor.

  1. No es "recording", sino "remastering". Las grabaciones son previas. La mayoría del personal estaban muertos en 2000. A no se que se trate de "Blue Note EVP" (psicofonías), lo que convertiría al sonido de Gelder en premonitorio.
