I love this album. Victor Feldman! My money is on this, Blue Serge and Onzy Matthews Blues with a Touch of Elegance being the Capitol titles released as Tone Poets in 2025.

2004 Connoisseur CD.

The Verve By Requst series pressed by Third Man has been plagued with issues. I haven't had any issues with the Blue Note 313 Series though and the Grant Green sounds good. Maybe I just got lucky.

I agree with Eric's sentiments. I have all the Tone Poet releases and hope the program continues well into the future . I am curious about which Capitol titles might be in play??
