  • Tracklist
  • The spirited solo performance of trumpeter Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley in "Ghana" - the opening piece of Byrd In Flight - lets the listeners know that they are in for an extraordinary musical experience. In addition to Mobley, Jackie McLean on alto sax, Duke Pearson on piano, bassists Doug Watkins and Reggie Workman, and drummer Lex Humphries are also present at these 1960 sessions. Other highlights include Byrd's breathtaking ballad tour-de-force on "Little Girl Blue" and the hard bop swingers "My Girl Shirl" and "Lex", the latter with a particularly soulful solo by Mobley.

    Blue Note Tone Poet Series

    The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was's admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. He brought Joe Harley (of Music Matters), also known as the "Tone Poet", on board to curate and oversee a series of reissues of the Blue Note label family.

    Extreme attention to detail has been put into making them right in every possible way, from the jacket graphics and print quality, to the superior LP mastering (directly from the master tapes) by Kevin Gray, to the superb 180-gram audiophile LP pressing by Record Technology Inc. every aspect of these Blue Note / Tone Poet releases is done to the highest possible standard. This means that you will never find a better version. This is IT.

    Blue Note Records' Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series is produced by Joe Harley and contains fully analog 180g audiophile vinyl reissues mastered from the original master tape in a luxurious gatefold package. Mastering is done by Kevin Gray (Cohearent Audio) and the vinyl is pressed at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI).
