Sweet! Haven't even gotten a shipping notice yet.
Blue Note is having a holiday sale. 50% off select items. Almost pulled the trigger on the Ornette Coleman box set but decided to pick up a few records from the Classic series and a Jackie McLean Tone Poet instead. Not too shabby.

Very tempted at Scolohofo @ $27, though the shipping charge likely kills it for me.Blue Note is having a holiday sale. 50% off select items.

If anyone doesn't have Frisell - Four, at $21 it deserves to be in your collection.

It's often titles that I have not heard before, which is really cool. Some off the beaten path is what the series is really getting good at releasing. The Pacific jazz is fantastic. Pour on some mo!
Polycurrents and Midnight Creeper drop on January 5. Excellent titles.
NOVEMBER 17, 2023
Blue Note Records has announced the 2024 line-up for the Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series. The acclaimed series is produced by the “Tone Poet” Joe Harley and features definitive all-analog, 180g audiophile vinyl reissues that are mastered from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio. Tone Poet vinyl is manufactured at RTI and packaged in deluxe gatefold tip-on jackets.
The titles were once again handpicked by Harley and include acknowledged treasures of the Blue Note catalog as well as underrated classics, modern era standouts, and albums from other labels under the Blue Note umbrella including Pacific Jazz, Transition, and United Artists. Newly announced titles begin January 5th at the start of Blue Note’s 85th anniversary year with the release of Elvin Jones’s unfettered 1969 post-bop exploration Poly-Currents and Lou Donaldson’s 1968 soul jazz manifesto Midnight Creeper, both of which are available for pre-order now on the Blue Note Store.
“We are thrilled to present the 2024 Tone Poet line up,” says Harley. “You’ll notice 3 rare titles from Transition Records, the label founded by legendary producer Tom Wilson. These mono titles from the mid-50s may be new to you but the artists featured on these sessions include Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Art Blakey, and Horace Silver. For you Bobby Hutcherson and Jackie McLean fans, 2024 will be a banner year with 3 each of their most cherished albums. 2024 also sees the release of one my all-time favorite Wayne Shorter albums, the majestic Odyssey of Iska. There’s much more greatness but do keep your eyes and ears open for a very special addition to the line-up that will be announced early next year. As always, every one of these was cut directly from the original analog master tapes.”

I’m a sucker for Bobby Hutcherson TPs, so this will be an expensive year.

Gab on the Hoffbro forum. I am not sure his connection to Harley or Blue Note but he has a lot of insights.

And then there was this line from the last paragraph of the announcement: "There’s much more greatness but do keep your eyes and ears open for a very special addition to the line-up that will be announced early next year." Box set seems plausible.

if they really wanna go with a true replica, they'll let the labels on the records fall off after a year or two.
