Horace Silver The Tokyo Blues (Tone Poet) Limited Deluxe Gatefold 180gram Vinyl LP

Overview:

Horace Silver’s 1962 tour of Japan had a deep impact on the pianist who dedicated his album The Tokyo Blues to his Japanese fans. With his quintet of Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, and John Harris Jr., Silver combined a ‘Japanese feeling in the melodies with the Latin feeling in the rhythms’. 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 gatefold tip-on jacket.
