Blue Noteâ??s new Tone Poets series.The Tone Poets series is a set of vinyl reissues celebrating the legendary labelâ??s sonic voyagers, artists who forged their own paths to produce some truly original sounds. The collection was borne of Blue Note President Don Wasâ??s admiration for the exceptional audiophile rereleases issued by the independent company Music Matters. Attention to detail has been paid to getting these reissues right in every conceivable way, from the jacket graphics to the print quality; from Kevin Grayâ??s superior vinyl mastering to the 180G pressings by Record Technology Inc. Consumers will not find superior versions of these LPs â?? they are audiophile vinyl products with high-gloss gatefold packaging and bonus images from the recording sessions. - BLUE NOTE'S NEW TONE POETS SERIESDouble 180gm vinyl LP pressing. "Glamoured is a Gaelic word meaning to be whisked away," says vocalist and songwriter Cassandra Wilson, explaining the title of her 2003 album. "It's like being in a daydream, those split seconds when you're transfixed and your eyes don't move and you have to shake yourself out of it. This album captures the feeling of that reverie." Indeed, Wilson sets such a mood with her trademark mix of first-rate originals and adventurous covers of other songwriters' works, this time picking material by Sting, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Muddy Waters and Abbey Lincoln. Such eclectic tastes come naturally to Wilson, who began her musical career performing in and around her hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "Down South, musicians have to be able to play in many different circumstances and in many contexts," she says. "They have to play jazz, they have to integrate the blues, and they have to know country. And the lines are kinda blurry sometimes, 'cause that's what everybody wants to hear." For the recording of Glamoured, Cassandra once again returned to her hometown of Jackson, Mississippi with a list of good songs and an open mind. "For some albums, I'll have a very clear idea of where I want it to go," she says, "but this time I had questions about what kinds of sounds to explore."Recorded at Sonic Temple, Jackson, MS December 2002 and February 2003.
