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.

Duke Pearson's opening title track of superb album, The Phantom, sets a stage for one of Blue Note's underrecognized gems. The pianist/composer/arranger gathered a superb cast : Bobby Hutcherson, Jerry Dodgion (flute), Sam Brown, Al Gafa (guitars), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Mickey Roker, Victor Pantojo, Potato Valdes (drums). With standouts such as "Los Ojos Alegres (The Happy Eyes)" and "Say You're Mine". Blue Note Tone Poet Series features all-analog, remastered 180 gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
