Uncompromising Expression: Singles Collection (5 CD)
AmazonTo celebrate the 75th anniversary of Blue Note, the label is releasing a comprehensive 5CD singles box entitled Uncompromising Expression. Releasing day-and-date with this collection is a new hardcover book – with the same name – written by jazz-authority, Richard Havers, who details Blue Note’s impact on popular culture. Havers, who also wrote the 2013 Verve: The Sound of America, not only wrote this defining Blue Note history, but he curated the track list for this singles box as a musical companion to the rich text and adored images.
Opening with the label’s very first signing – the pianist Meade Lux Lewis – and closing seventy five years later with the beautifully progressive sounds of Derrick Hodge, Uncompromising Expression is a complete overview of the one of the most inspired and eclectic catalogs of Jazz. This collection features Jazz greats from Thelonious Monk to Art Blakey to John Coltrane to Donald Byrd, Cassandra Wilson, Norah Jones and more. Packaged in a beautiful slipcase, Uncompromising Expression also includes a 48-page booklet featuring a complete discography of the 75 titles included in this box. Each of the five discs covers a specific era, from boogie to hard bop, soul jazz to the roots revival of the 90’s, and the 21st century trailblazers like Robert Glasper and Gregory Porter.

Round Midnight: Complete Blue Note Singles 1947-52
AmazonThelonious Monk’s first recordings in the late 1940s were for Blue Note Records and they signaled a new kind of Blue Note as the label was evolving from an outlet for boogie woogie and old time jazz into a flag-waver for hard bop. These recordings, which include the first version of Monk’s classic composition, ‚Round Midnight‘ (originally known as ‚Round About Midnight‘), were released on a series of fifteen 78 RPM singles. Later, Monk’s sessions were re-compiled on 10-inch and 12-inch LPs, and this collection will present for the first time Monk’s Blue Note recordings in their original 78 RPM sequence of release, adding as bonus tracks the alternate takes that appeared on later LP and CD releases. In addition, ‚Round Midnight includes nine tracks not available on any current reissues of Monk’s albums.
