Loving the non-shades look, gives the channel a more serious tone. Really looking forward to these Tone Poet releases, a lot of good stuff in there!

Thank you so much for the nice words. I’m looking forward to these releases too! It’s gonna be hard to be patient!

I wish they were doing more of the Pacific Jazz titles. Those have been some of my favorite releases.

@spinzvinyl 4 ай бұрын

Totally! I'd love see a few of those Pacific Jazz titles reissued as well!

@spinzvinyl I was hoping Joe Harley would release “Jazz Waltz” by Les McCann and The Jazz Crusaders. It’s a tremendous, Bluesy, Swinging, Soulful, Funky date and a rarity you don’t see out in the wild. Fingers crossed its next up and trust me, it’s a must have!

@spinzvinyl 2 ай бұрын

@Jazzamatazz-pc4qj I hadn’t heard this one. I’m listening right now. What a fun record! Very Cool with some great playing on it! It looks like it got a European release in 2023. No reviews on Discogs so I have no idea how it sounds. Seems like a perfect opportunity for a Tone Poet!!!

Nice one! I find it a bit strange when people describe everything as “killer” and are in for the complete series ….. all that says to me is they just love having stuff on their shelf and don’t really listen to a lot of these things much more than once

@spinzvinyl 8 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for the nice words! Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m a pretty selective collector. If I don’t love it, it doesn’t go on the shelf. 😉

@davidlg0478 8 ай бұрын

Totally agree. People who buy everything, IMO are not building a nicely curated collection. They will end up not listening much to a lot of those albums. Fairly pointless really.

@drazenbabich 8 ай бұрын

I love Tone Poets but I own only about 25-30% of all released titles in that series so far. A friend of mine has all but one, which as you say is pointless, he maybe listens to 20 of them if even that.

As always, very well done Jay. Still dipping into jazz. So much to learn yet, but love the way blue note markets their stuff, classic series=great price, good product; tone poet, great price for a superb product. Keep up the great work.

@spinzvinyl 8 ай бұрын

Thanks so much, Jason! All things being equal, the Tone Poet series provides so much value for the price! The classic series is very good as well, and I have my share of them. The fact that they're only $10 apart is pretty astounding. It took me a bit to justify the extra $10 but once I grabbed my first Tone Poet, it was clear to me where that money was going and in my opinion it's so worth it! Especially when other premium Audiophile pressings can easily exceed $100! I can't bring myself to jump in that pool! I subscribed to your channel and your videos are fantastic! I love what you're doing and look forward to seeing where you take your channel!

New subscriber here, thanks for the great summary. I’d streamed the whole year before watching and my choices are really similar to yours! Probably going to get around half. Like you so happy with the Bobby H choices, hopefully we get Components in 2025. And Duke Pearson’s Wahoo. Cheers Graham

Great video. I personally am most excited about silvers serenade and will be picking it up on day of release. I think its a masterpiece. Love anything with Bobby Hutcherson i will be picking up total eclipse and dialogue too. Both amazing records which i already own.

Great video. Love your personal ratings. As of now, I'm interested in Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, the two Hutchersons, Doug Watkins, Cliff Jordan and maybe the Modest Jazz Trio and Freddie Roach. Will be streaming the rest and maybe find some other titles. Regarding the Transition records, I really like, that the little booklets will be included. Nice attention to detail!

I’m a huge Max Roach fan (Nomo is one of the greatest records ever) but I’m not familiar with the Booker Little Lp. Will stream and see.

@spinzvinyl 8 ай бұрын

Oh nice. Yeah, I don’t feel that way about all Max Roach recordings. But something about the Booker Little just feels like the drums are mixed super hot to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

@lukedermott1589 8 ай бұрын

@@spinzvinyl Man! I didn’t think I’d agree with you but I do. Max is playing like he had something to prove lol. And, of course, because I’m listening for it it IS very distracting. It’s like one running drum solo under everyone else’s playing. Oh well. Can’t love em’ all. Also, having him off in the left channel makes it worse. Center left/right would be easier on the ears.

@@lukedermott1589 I'm relieved you're hearing the same thing I'm hearing! It's a real bummer though, because otherwise the album would be very good. Maybe they'll fix the mix for the Tone Poet reissue. I guess it's also possible that it's unique to the digital mix. Maybe I'll pick it up just to see for sure!

Is it me or does it seem like they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with these titles. There is so much coming out of the fifties its endless. The Tapes must be bad or missing or they cant secure a deal with the record companies. Awesome Video!!!

@drewweissmann1486 8 ай бұрын

The Tone poet catalog is based on rare obscure titles. I think they're doing a great job.

@spinzvinyl 8 ай бұрын

Hey Rob! Your point is well taken. I'm actually very pleased. I know I'm only grabbing about half, but that's a pretty great ratio. I think Blue Note has done a nice job of diversifying their releases. This go 'round is a little light on the "popular" Blue Note titles that people think of, but I love the fact that it's pretty stacked with some of the lesser know bangers. In fact I tend to enjoy some of the lesser known titles even more than the "usual suspects". Sorry you didn't find much here. Definitely check out Jackie McLean and Bobby Hutcherson if you like that kind of thing!

@spinzvinyl 8 ай бұрын

I forgot to reply to your point about the old tapes. There's a great video out there with Don Was and Joe Harley that gets in the weeds about the Tone Poet series. I'll link it in the description. As far as I know most of the Blue Note tapes have been pretty well preserved. The biggest, and fairly subtle, changes to the "remastering" is to bring back some of the dynamics that were purposely crushed back in the day because of poor/cheap playback equipment.
