TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
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.
Houston, Texas born tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy found his way to Los Angeles in the mid-1950s where he became embedded in the West Coast Jazz scene and began recording for Pacific Jazz in 1960. His second date for the label was Groovin’ Blue, a hard-swinging session co-led with drummer Frank Butler that was also one of the earliest recordings to feature vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, who was just 19 years old at the time.
Rounding out the band on this excellent six-song set of Amy originals are trumpeter Carmell Jones, who was making his recorded debut, along with pianist Frank Strazzeri, and bassist Jimmy Bond.
