The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the Tone Poet, on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

When jazz bass virtuoso Paul Chambers recorded his third and final album as a Blue Note lead, Bass On Top, he was already well established. Brilliantly seductive, it features Hank Jones (piano), Kenny Burrell (guitar) and Art Taylor (drums). Features a chamber-jazz interpretation of Jerome Kerns Yesterdays & a swinging version of Dear Old Stockholm, a tune often associated w/ Miles Davis. Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
