Lee Morgan - The Cooker LP (Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

Listening to Lee Morgan blow his molten solo on “A Night In Tunisia,” the opening track of The Cooker, it’s hard to fathom that he was only 19 years old at the time. Recorded just 2 weeks after Morgan’s dazzling performance on John Coltrane’s masterpiece Blue Train in September 1957, The Cooker...

BN is so expensive to buy from once you add their tax and shipping fees.
Hopefully this pops up somewhere like Plaid Room.
 
I don't have confirmation but I saw online that a UK record shop owner has been told that the UK is to only get 300 copies of the Grant Green Nigeria repress due to the limited number.

So, if anyone did miss it that wants a copy I would suggest seeing if you can reserve in advance.
 
I've had one hell of a great record-related day and managed to get 2 fantastic albums. One of which is an original pressing of Bobby Hutcherson's "Stick-Up!".

I dont usually double up if I can avoid it (I have the Tone Poet pressing) but its such a great album that I couldnt resist!

Bobby Hutcherson - The Kicker LP (Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

Recorded in 1963, The Kicker was actually vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson’s first session as a leader for Blue Note, but for reasons lost to time it was shelved, and instead Hutcherson’s album Dialogue was released as his debut two years later. First released in 1999, The Kicker is a sequel to...

Man I was listening to this album after you guys mentioned it. “Hey this reminds me of Idle Moments - Grant Green.” Then I looked at the players on the session….oh that’s why.

Lee Morgan - Infinity LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

Just two months after recording his exceptional sextet date Cornbread, the prolific trumpeter Lee Morgan was back in Van Gelder Studio in November 1965 with a slightly slimmed down—but no less robust—quintet line-up to record his next session Infinity, which wouldn’t be first released until...

Duke Pearson - The Right Touch LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) - Blue Note Records

Perhaps the perfect starting point for a reappraisal of Duke Pearson’s underrated career is his fantastic and aptly titled 1967 album The Right Touch. The album stands as perhaps the finest in Pearson’s discography and is a showcase of his sublime talents as a pianist, composer, and arranger...

Im loving that the later era Lee Morgan albums are being picked up for Tone Poet release rather than the more obvious earlier releases.

Also bias as its the later era stuff that im missing 🤣

Grant Green - Nigeria LP (Tone Poet Series)

Grant Green’s Nigeria is an under-recognized gem in the guitarist’s remarkable Blue Note catalog. Recorded in 1962, but not first released until 1980, the album features a top-shelf band with Sonny Clark on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and, in one of his only appearances with Green, Art Blakey on...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Grant Green's "Nigeria" is back in the Blue Note store.
