MADLIB and BLUE NOTE have teamed up to reissue the historical masterpiece "SHADES OF BLUE" on a 180G super heavyweight vinyl 2LP! Released in 2003. This album features jazzy breaks with a comfortable, sometimes dark, arrangement of vibrant original tracks selected from classic standards and sampling sources. This acid atmosphere cannot be replicated by so-called "do-jazz," and it's a work that became a new standard, influencing artists like ROBERT GLASPER. It's understandable that BLUE NOTE produced a commemorative edition. This is a masterpiece, whether you're discovering it for the first time or comparing it to the original! Unused, but stored by a private individual, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition.
