Blue Note Vinyl Spinners

It’s Monday morning and we are heading to Cantaloupe Island! 🏝️

Herbie Hancock’s “Empyrean Isles” is on the turntable and some fresh, local coffee is in the cup… not a bad way to get the week started!

Keeping it cool this morning with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers!

Listening to an album for the first time can be exhilarating, but Wayne Shorter's records are in a league of their own. I've appreciated his work for years, yet this particular album remained unexplored – until tonight's Classic Vinyl Series reissue arrival! 😊

It’s a beautiful Monday morning and we are about to embark on a voyage with Herbie! Where will he take us today?

“Maiden Voyage” by Herbie Hancock, with Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, George Coleman, and Tony Williams

It’s Friday and we are riding right into the weekend with “The Freedom Rider”!

This is an original 1964 stereo pressing and features the classic lineup of Art, Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons, and Jymie Merritt.

We’re walking right into Wednesday with some classic Lou Donaldson this morning!

Original mono pressing of the fantastic “Blues Walk” always hits the spot!

How about some Art to get your day started?

“Africaine” by Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers was recorded in 1959, but sat on the shelf until 1981.

Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Reece, Jymie Merrit, and Walter Davis Jr.

Anyone in the mood for some Sonny Rollins tonight? And can I interest you in a cup of coffee to go with it?

Rainy weekends are perfect for relaxing with some good coffee and great music!

I'm spending my rainy Saturday morning checking out this month’s Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series titles. First up is "Roll Call" by Hank Mobley!

What's on your playlist today? ☔️ ☕️ 🎶

I haven’t played this one in a while, so it’s time for some Clifford Brown!

“Memorial Album” was released in 1956 (compiled from tracks released earlier on 10” records), and I believe that my copy is from 1960.

@bluenoterecords.bsky.social #jazz #vinyl #coffee

Good morning! It’s been a while since I’ve taken “Taru” for a spin. Lee Morgan recorded this in 1968, but it wasn’t released until 1980. Seen here is the 2024 Tone Poet reissue.
I’ve paired it with “Mariah”, a Sumatra coffee from my friends at Oak City Roasters.

It’s a beautiful spring morning, the windows are open, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming. And the air is filled with the smell of fresh coffee and sounds of jazz. I love mornings like this!

Spinning some OG Blue Notes this morning, starting with this one: “Blowin’ The Blues Away” by the Horace Silver Quintet & Trio!

I inherited this original mono pressing from my dad. Listening to jazz always reminds me of him.. so many great memories. ☕️🎵😊

New Tone Poet titles in the house! First up is “Sunset Eyes” by Teddy Edwards. Originally released by Pacific Jazz in 1960.

First time ever hearing this music, and loving it so far!!

Do you ever wonder where your older records were before you owned them? I’ve been the caretaker of this album for quite a few years now. But where was it originally purchased back in 1958? Who was listening the very first time a needle moved through its grooves, and what did they think?

Happy Friday! I woke up to an absolutely beautiful morning and a strong craving for some “Kind Of Blue”!

Do you remember the first time you heard this incredible jazz classic? What was the first copy that you owned? Have you bought it more than once?

Welcome!!

“Davis Cup” + coffee cup = happiness!!

Finally getting a chance to sit and relax after a very busy day. And tonight’s selection is the limited edition Tone Poet reissue of this great Walter Davis Jr. album!

Thank you!!🙏 ☕️ 🎶

Those voices aren’t in your head… they are with Donald Byrd!

The classic “A New Perspective”.. a spiritual jazz album featuring a vocal choir and an incredible band: Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Donald Best, Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren, and Lex Humphries!

@bluenoterecords.bsky.social #jazz #vinyl

Looking for a good time? Then pick up your phone and “Dial ‘S’ For Sonny”… you won’t be disappointed!

Monday Morning Monk! And this morning let’s pretend it’s 1969 and we are in Paris listening to Monk at the Salle Pleyel concert hall!

Thelonious Monk - “Paris 1969”. Released on vinyl in 2013 by @bluenoterecords.bsky.social

Happy Friday, friends! The sun is out, the coffee is hot, and Donald Byrd is on the turntable!

What are your thoughts on “Mustang” from 1966?

#bluenoterecords #jazz #vinyl #coffee #donaldbyrd #music

The sun is out this morning and Jimmy Smith is at the organ!

“Jimmy Smith At The Organ” Vol. 1 was recorded in 1957, and this copy is a 1958 repress. Jimmy is joined by Kenny Burrell, Lou Donaldson, and Art Blakey on these tracks.

This is a fun and lively album!

It’s a cold and rainy morning, but things are warming up as the sounds of Miles Davis fill the air and the first cup of coffee hits.

These are the first tracks recorded by the same band that would record “Kind Of Blue” a year later!
