  Blue Note Jazz Recordings
Check out the RVG Collector Series from Blue Note. The RVG stands for the legendary recording engineer from Blue Note whos name is Rudy Van Gelder.

I have just picked up Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell. Just a fabulous remaster of a great classic. The RVG Collection from Blue Note is worthy of every Jazz Library out there.

What RVG has been able to do with these old tapes and put them to 24 bit CDs is remarkable. There are now several offerings under the RVG logo and if the rest are anything like Midnight Blue, they must be special indeed. I know I will be looking for additional RVG titles for my Jazz Library.

Heres the link to Blue Note.

When it comes to jazz, it just doesn't get much better than Blue Note.

Blue Note Jazz Recordings
Got lucky again found another RVG Blue Note Edition. This one is Thelonious Monk "Genius of Modern Music Volume 2." Originally recorded at WOR Studios on July 23 1951 and May 30 1952. Remastered by RVG 2002. All transfers from original lacquer discs to digital were made at 24 bit resolution. These are Mono recordings.

Do not let this put you off from getting this disc because it is Mono. This captures Thelonious Monk at the peak of his creativity and includes the rare and hard to find composition of "Four In One".

This is just a masterful job by RVG to put this to disc without loss of the original. Sound is marvelous and this is a very worthy addition to any serious Jazz library.

Very thankful that RVG and Blue Note are remastering and reissuing these timeless classics.
