Great Jazz Standards (Blue Note Tone Poet Series) { vinyl }

The brilliant arranger Gil Evans had already collaborated with Miles Davis on Birth of the Cool and Miles Ahead when he made his 2 excellent albums for World Pacific—New Bottle Old Wine (1958) and Great Jazz Standards (1959)—the latter featuring Johnny Coles, Steve Lacy, Budd Johnson, Elvin Jones & more. This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on jacket.
