The soaring spirit of Blue Note Records — served up here with a really special twist to fit the mode of the Free Soul series! The package is overflowing with goodness — four hours\’ worth of listening, with a special focus on two periods of the label — that great late 60s/early 70s stretch when they were trying out so many new ideas and rhythms, including elements borrowed from soul, Latin, fusion, and Brazilian modes — and the more recent stretch that has seen Blue Note re-emerge as one of the most forward-thinking labels in jazz! CDs 1 and 2 feature older gems — including \»Lover To Lover\» by Maxi Anderson, \»Kathy\» by Moacir Santos, \»As\» by Gene Harris, \»Tuesday Heartbreak\» by Ronnie Foster, \»Harlem River Drive\» by Bobbi Humphrey, \»To See A Smile\» by Ronnie Foster, \»Where Are We Going\» by Donald Byrd, \»You\’re Welcome Stop On By\» by Lou Donaldson, \»Save The Children\» by Marlena Shaw, \»Move Your Hand\» by Lonnie Smith, \»In Pursuit Of The 27th Man\» by Horace Silver, \»Early Morning Love\» by Moacir Santos, \»Montara\» by Bobby Hutcherson, and \»Stormy\» by Duke Pearson. CD3 features newer work — including \»Come To My Door\» by Jose James, \»Holding Onto You\» by Derrick Hodge, \»Maiden Voyage\» by Dianne Reeves, \»Praise\» by Aaron Parks, \»You\’re Still The One\» by Otis Brown III with Gretchen Parlato, \»Ain\’t Misbehavin\» by Jason Moran with Meshell Ndegeocello, \»No Love Dying\» by Gregory Porter, \»Afro Blue\» by Robert Glasper with Erykah Badu, \»Please Set Me At Ease\» by Madlib, and \»Won\’t You Open Up Your Senses\» by 4Hero with Vanessa Freeman.
