Blue Note Records "Blue Note Review: Volume One" – "Peace, Love & Fishing" was the 2017 inaugural edition of a stunning new biannual, limited edition, luxury boxset subscription series that encapsulates the storied past and future of the legendary jazz label. The beautifully curated collector’s item was a limited production of 1,500 sets, and available exclusively at bluenotereview.com.
The foundation of each Blue Note Review is and will remain the music: The Finest In Jazz Since 1939. Each set plans to contain a collection of new recordings from Blue Note’s current roster plus a timeless treasure from the Blue Note vaults, representing the unique continuum of jazz, a music where innovation is always built upon what’s come before, yet a restlessly creative artform with improvisation and reinvention at its core. Blue Note Review aims to provide the ultimate jazz experience, a physical extension of the enduringly hip Blue Note aesthetic to adorn the ears, eyes, mind, and neck. The new music within will only be available in the Review, it won’t be found on streaming services or digital download sites, and none of the items contained in the set will be sold separately.
“The digital transformation of the music business has made great strides in terms of convenience, but we’ve lost so much along the way,” explains Blue Note President Don Was, who conceived of the Blue Note Review and serves as it’s Publisher. “For so many of us, Blue Note has always represented a particular sensibility and a culture of cool. Blue Note Review is our great effort to restore some of that culture, and to re-create that tangible, multi-sensory experience. This has been a labor of love for everyone involved, and we couldn’t be more proud to introduce the Blue Note Review to jazz lovers worldwide.”
