UHQ-CD - Marking 85 years representing The Finest In Jazz, UM Japan are making available no less than 118 titles selected from Blue Note’s analog "Tone Poet" and "Classic Vinyl" reissue series on UHQ-CD. Remastering by Kevin Gray, these releases reproduce the sound of the original master tapes as faithfully as possible. Each title is presented on 1 UHQ-CD jewel case with obi-strip with original sleeve notes reproduced on the back inlay.

Empyrean Isles from 1964 is the best of Hancock's Blue Note albums and an outstanding example of modal jazz. But beyond that, it's simply one of the finest pure jazz albums ever made, right up there with Kind of Blue and Love Supreme. What helps makes it so great is not just the phenomenal musicians and the flawless performance, but a composer / arranger (Hancock) who really has no equal in the jazz world.

Tracklist: 

1. One Finger Snap    
2. Oliloqui Valley    
3. Cantaloupe Island    
4. The Egg
