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.

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.
ReplyDeleteSí remasterizado, lamentablemente no lo conseguí monoaural.
