In honor of Blue Note Records' 80th Anniversary, in 2019, the Jazz label launched the "Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series". Blue Note President Don Was brought in "Tone Poet" Joe Harley—co-founder and co-producer of the acclaimed Music Matters Ltd. audiophile vinyl series—to produce this new series of all-analog, mastered-from-the-original-master-tape 180 gram audiophile vinyl reissues in deluxe gatefold packaging. Mastering is by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio), vinyl is being manufactured at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI) and jackets are printed at Stoughton Printing Co. The titles were handpicked by Harley and cover lesser-known Blue Note classics, modern era standouts, and albums from other labels under the Blue Note catalog. Non-reissue titles may also be included. This mix was broadcast on www.nessradio.com
