| NEW TITLES IN THE RVG EDITION The legendary recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder is as integral a part of Jazz history as any of the musicians that created the music. As the go-to engineer for Blue Note, Prestige & Impulse! in the 1950s/60s, Van Gelder's clean, crisp, meticulously well-balanced recordings from his home studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, and later in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, contributed to classic after classic. Blue Note introduced the highly-successful Rudy Van Gelder (RVG) Series in 1999, giving Van Gelder the opportunity to lend his precise hand and ears to the process of remastering in 24-bit many of the great Blue Note sessions that he himself had originally engineered. RVG editions contain bonus tracks as well as rare session photographs and expert liner notes. The new RVG titles are as follows: Andrew Hill- Smoke Stack Dexter Gordon- Gettin' Around Hank Mobley- Workout Horace Silver- Horace-Scope Lee Morgan- The Gigolo Stanley Turrentine- Joyride write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
