Released in 2022. "Blue Note Records has announced the continuation of the
Classic Vinyl Reissue Series
which presents 180g vinyl LP reissues in standard packaging mastered by Kevin Gray and manufactured at Optimal. The pressings are all-analog whenever an analog source is available, with Gray mastering directly from the original master tapes. While the first 16 titles of the series focused on the best-known Blue Note classics from the 1950s and '60s, the new run of titles curated by
Don Was
and
Cem Kurosman
broadens its scope to span the many eras and styles of the legendary label's eight-decade history presented by themes: bebop, hard bop, soul jazz, post-bop, avant-garde, the '70s, the rebirth, and hidden gems. Until the emergence of
Larry Young
, Blue Note's Hammond B3 organ tradition was firmly rooted in soul jazz, having been established by B3 trailblazer
Jimmy Smith
and soulful players the likes of
Big John Patton
and
Baby Face Willette
. However, Young brought an entirely new perspective to the instrument by placing it in a more adventurous post-bop context, an innovative approach that recontextualized its possibilities. Young had introduced these inclinations on his excellent 1964 Blue Note debut
Into Somethin'
, but with his 1965 album
Unity
he created a singular masterpiece with a cast of modernist jazz visionaries: trumpeter
Woody Shaw
, tenor saxophonist
Joe Henderson
, and drummer
Elvin Jones
. The apt album title expressed the undeniable synergy this unique quartet achieved. The program consisted of three distinctive originals by Shaw ('Zoltan,' 'The Moontrane,' and 'Beyond All Limits'), Henderson's bluesy, hard-swinging 'If,' and memorable versions of 'Monk's Dream' by
Thelonious Monk
and the standard 'Softly As In A Morning Sunrise.'"
