In The Beginning...

There was jazz. And it was good. But then an optometrist named Rudy Van Gelder began recording jazz in his New Jersey home, and history was made.

Since 1999, Rudy Van Gelder has been remastering his Blue Note (along with Prestige, maybe more?) albums in what is called the RVG Series. This blog will be dedicated to my quest to own all of the RVG Series of Blue Note remasters, which I am purchasing digitally, and will feature reviews (and maybe re-reviews) of these albums as I seek to immerse myself in my favorite part of jazz history. Stay tuned.

"RVG-atron 9000" first used by me here.
