Herbie Hancock, My Point of View, 1963 on Blue Note
Hancock's sophomore album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs NJ. Hancock joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Gracham Moncur III (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), Chuck Isreals (bass), and Anthony Williams (drums). Herbie Hancock is a master, and it is wonderful to find the early Blue Note albums - I now have the first five in good vinyl editions. All the tracks on this one are Hancock originals - love "Blind Man, Blind Man" which recalls & […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/28/herbie-hancock-my-point-of-view-1963-on-blue-note
According to Wikipedia:
“Dorham shared a stage with Miles Davis in 1956. According to Davis's biography, after the performance, Jackie McLean "looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Miles, tonight Kenny is playing so beautiful, you sound like an imitation of yourself.’””
That'd be this same year and, indeed, he's playing great on this album.
Kenny Dorham - The Complete 'Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia
Recent Tone Poet release of this classic 1956 set, expanded with the tracks added in the 1984 Japan release, plus more.
Dorham and the band (J. R. Monterose (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones (bass), andArthur Edghill (drums)) are locked in and playing great.
Beautiful mono recording, mastering, pressing. Highly recommended.
Cliff Jordan, Cliff Jordan, 1957 on Blue Note
Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack NJ, Jordan is joined by John Jenkins (alto sax), Art Taylor (drums), Ray Bryant (piano), Curtis Fuller (trombone) and Lee Morgan (trumpet). This is one of two Blue Note LPs he put out in 1957 (the other was Blowing in From Chicago with John Gilmore). My copy—via Amazon—is the 2024 Blue Note Tone Poet Series reissue, with lacquer by Kevin Gray and pressing at RTI. Although they used the "mono" labels here and the spine also says mono, the LP is […]https://goatless.org/2026/04/28/cliff-jordan-cliff-jordan-1957-on-blue-note
Horace Silver Quintet, Silver’s Serenade, 1963 on Blue Note
The quintent here is Silver joined by Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Junior Cook (tenor sax), Gene Taylor (bass), and Roy Brooks (drums). Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, with Alfred Lion producing. My copy—via Amazon—is another Blue Note Tone Poet Series reissue from 2024. Yes, I realize there are other jazz labels and other reissue series - but so many of these are so good they are hard to resist.https://goatless.org/2026/04/25/horace-silver-quintet-silvers-serenade-1963-on-blue-note
Freddie Roach, Good Move!, 1964 on Blue Note
Freddie Roach’s third album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliff with Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Eddie Wright (guitar), and Clarence Johnston (drums).
Tunes include “It Ain’t Necessarily So” (Gerswhin) and Pastel (Garner) as well as “T’Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do It).” Great soul-jazz organ here.
My copy—via Amazon—is the Tone Poet Series reissue from 2024, with lacquer cut by Kevin Gray and pressing at RTI. As you can expect from this series it’s a great sounding pressing with lovely packaging.

Big John Patton, Let ‘Em Roll, 1966 on Blue Note
Patton joined by Otis Finch (drums), Grant Green (guitar), and Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Fantastic Hammond B3 driven mid-sixties Blue Note jazz – can’t go wrong.
My copy—direct from Amazon, which often has deals on these—is the Blue Note Tone Poet series reissue from 2023, with lacquer cut by Kevin Grey and Joe Harley and pressing at RTI.

Lou Donaldson, Midnight Creeper, 1968 on Blue Note
Donaldson joined here by Leo Morris (drums), George Benson (guitar), Lonnie Smith (organ) and Blue Mitchell (trumpet). Very groovy soul-jazz LP from late sixties Blue Note.
Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs and produced by Francis Wolff.
My copy—via Amazon—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI.

Blue Mitchell, Down With It, 1966 on Blue Note
Another fantastic Blue Note jazz LP, this came out originally in 1966. It features Mitchell (trumpet) with Junior Cook (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano), Gene Taylor (bass), and Aloysius Foster (drums), and was recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey.
My copy- via a private sale – is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI. Great sound and packaging.

Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
Late last year, the Tone Poet released a new version of this classic album, after finding a basically never played, simultaneously recorded master.
And, as would not have been said at the time, holy shit, this thing really does sound incredible. (Yes, blah blah blah digital recordings don't degrade, etc, but c'mon, listen to this.)
Paul Seydor, an actual expert, discusses: https://trackingangle.com/music/frank-sinatras-in-the-wee-small-hours-of-the-morning
„Normally, your old boy #Tonepoet would not post his own music except by sneakily inserting into an episode. Well, I just released some new music, and I really wanted to share this with you all.“

#Spaceman‘s Transmissons:
„Shhh..... Dear listener, I hear something.... It's very, very faint. THERE it is again! Did you hear it?? It's an echo of some sort. A repeated signal nuance and sonically degrading follow-on carbon copy of an initial sound (which is perhaps long gone)…“
Time for some #Coltrane - an #NC native! Add to that one of my favorite trumpet players - #LeeMorgan. Playing one of only a few #BlueNote #TonePoet issues I have…I love the way they sound, but I don’t know that they sound any better than the Classic Vinyl Series reissues…which are also absolutely fantastic. (And were on sale last week…I may have been a bit irresponsible…)
But I’m sure some audiophile with a much more expensive system will claim there is a huge difference…
Tone Poet or not it sounds amazing. Someday I need to get the RVG stereo mix.

Morgan accompanied by Herbie Hancock, Jackie McLean, Billy Higgins, Hank Mobley and Larry Ridley. Very enjoyable album.

Bobby Hutcherson - Oblique
Another excellent Hutcherson release, this one from 1967, featuring Herbie Hancock (piano), Albert Stinson (bass), and Joe Chambers (drums).
Close mic’ed in the RVG style, with Chambers’ cymbal work super prominent in the mix and mastering. Lots of interesting harmonic work; overall a really great listen.

Wayne Shorter - "Odyssey of Iska" (1971)
This is a really great sounding #TonePoet reissue. Sounds fantastic.

I’m #writing scenes of violence & #SonnyRollins is bringing a necessary & manic vibe.
I love Rollins and I especially love live Rollins from this period - just as he’s coming off hard-bop & heading somewhere new.
And this is the best #TonePoet imo.
#NowSpinning #Infinity by #LeeMorgan. This is yet another Christmas pressie & another great album. I’m a total #LeeMorgan nut & against the prevailing opinion, I think this is a really strong set. Infinity, Nettie B. & Dolls, in particular, stand out.
As with all the #TonePoet’s, this is top quality stuff. Top notch jacket, flat centred vinyl, mastered beautifully by #KevinGray & the SQ is incredible.
McCoy Tyner - "Extensions" (1972)
This #TonePoet release is stunning. Super quiet background, dynamic, channel separation that really jumps out at you. It actually sounds better than my original pressing, which is no small feat.

Chet Baker - "Chet Baker Sings" (1954)
A lovely #BlueNote #TonePoet reissue of the classic #PacificJazz recording.

sometimes the cd 💿 is really hard to find or expensive, so that a Tone Poet release just fits perfectly & seems reasonably priced. ⚫

Big John Patton - Let 'Em Roll
Here's a 1965 soul jazz set from Patton (B3), Grant Green (guitar), Otis FInch (drums) and Bobby Hutcherson (vibes). It's hard *not* to see this as influencing Medeski, Martin, Scofield and Woods. But even if not, it's great.
Nice new Tone Poet version, with the packaging and pressing you'd expect.

Newly repressed Tone Poet edition from Blue Note.
Enjoying these new #bluenoterecords #TonePoet releases tonight.
Sunshine & blazing heat is perfect for some West Coast #jazz. So I’m #NowSpinning #LeeKonitz Plays with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet & it’s a swinging, toe-tapping delight. Carson Smith, in particular, is stand out, particularly on the opening track. Oh, & Chet Baker makes an appearance.
This is another #TonePoet cut by #KevinGray & it really is well done. Great SQ, well put together & this particular copy cost me £3.99. Yep you read that right.
If I could afford it I would only collect OG #bluenote records, and while still mostly gravitate toward them, the #tonepoet reissues are done so well they are hard to pass up as gap fillers. Love this one. What a lineup and session. #jazz #jazzrecords #jazzvinyl #records @vinylrecords
This, I think, is quite special: the #TonePoet reissue of #TheCooker by #LeeMorgan.
This has become quite rare of late & I was fortunate to pick up a NM copy (in reality, unplayed) for, basically, retail.
The album itself is glorious. I love Morgan (with & without Blackey) - he blows with such ferocious energy, while never less than melodic & soulful. He is one of my favourite #jazz artists &, imo, second only to Miles on the horn.
can i have
Jimmy Smith - Softly As A Summer Breeze (BST 84200)
as a Tone Poet vinyl reissue, please?
love that organ bass.
