Another beautiful Tone Poet.
Great vibes! Didn't know that one was out as Tone Poet, has now landed high up on my wishlist. On that note, my wishlist in terms of Jazz records has pretty much exploded in the last months. It's not that I haven't been listening to Jazz already for years but the way I have been bitten by the Jazz bug this time is something else. Don't know if that has to do with the current state of the world, me appreciating other types of Jazz more, or me just getting older and/or more interested in musical craftmanship but in any case it's a very rewarding journey. Also happy that I invested in a solid DAC/streamer last year and can do the high-res streaming thing to expand my horizon and to properly check out some albums I'm interested in before purchasing the vinyl version as these can be quite expensive.
And @Pete re the audiophile re-issues: Yeah, that's a huge advantage, those records sound incredible and as @Texas also mentioned, in many cases (especially Music Matters or now the Tone Poet releases directly from Blue Note) they really go the extra mile with packaging and the photos inside the gatefolds from the sessions.
That said, there is also a market for OG Jazz records and purists might prefer those. But finding clean/NM or even VG+ copies of the top shelf albums (or even Tier B or whatever) nowerdays is REALLY expensive.
