Recorded on September 22, 1967, at the legendary Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, Easterly Winds stands as arguably the finest of pianist Jack Wilson's three Blue Note albums. This hard bop gem features a remarkable all-star sextet, bringing together Lee Morgan on trumpet, Garnett Brown on trombone, Jackie McLean on alto saxophone, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums — a lineup that reads like a who's who of 1960s jazz royalty.

Now reissued as part of Blue Note's celebrated Tone Poet Series, Easterly Winds has been mastered by Kevin Gray directly from the original analog master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, all presented in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket. For fans of hard bop and classic Blue Note recordings, this reissue is a worthy opportunity to experience one of Jack Wilson's most inspired performances alongside some of the era's most gifted musicians.
