Cue my ongoing "the latest Tone Poet release is my favourite so far" post

Just listening to Freddie Hubbard - Breaking Point. Ab-sol-utely- amazing!

Catching up on too many purchases, literally every new record I play has an issue I'm thinking maybe need a new stylus. Could be a blessing in disguise, I'm going to tighten the vinyl budget for a few months at least, but I'm getting put off listening to vinyl

I'm thinking this hobby is losing the magic, I'm spending all my time trying to clean records with issues and not listening to the ones I want....... and then I pick out Freddie Hubbard, Breaking Point. I've not heard this one before, I noticed a few comments saying it might not be to everyone's taste.....WOW! what an album, what a pressing, what a session, pure genius, absolute perfection!

I've moved onto Tipping the Scales now, pretty damn slick & funky.

(The moral of this story is forget about all the other records, just get every Tone Poet and life will be good).

You will likely recognize Shorter's Footprints from Adam's Apple another quite iconic Blue Note track

Larry Young - Into Somethin' LP (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition) - Blue Note Records

On 1964’s Into Somethin’—his first album for Blue Note—Larry Young made it abundantly clear that he had his own unique approach to the Hammond B-3 organ. Rather than the tried-and-true soul jazz sound so strongly identified with the instrument, Young explored more modal territory over the course...

I already have a really nice Japanese Stereo copy of Blue Train but I think I'll need to add this to the collection.
