Blue Note, the iconic jazz record label, has announced the 2025 schedule for its Classic Vinyl Reissue Series. Curated by Don Was and Cem Kurosman, the series presents all-analog 180g vinyl reissues mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes and manufactured at Optimal.

This wave of releases begins Jan. 17 with two classics of early 1960s hard bop, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers’ 1960 stunner Like Someone In Love and Freddie Hubbard’s 1962 favorite Here To Stay. Both titles are available for pre-order at the Blue Note Store. Two more albums per month are scheduled for release through the end of 2025.

The 2025 Classic Vinyl Series lineup encompasses amazing albums from across the decades. Offerings from the 1950s include Jimmy Smith’s House Party and A Blowing Session, which brought Johnny Griffin together with John Coltrane and Hank Mobley. 1960s soul jazz is represented by Lou Donaldson’s Say It Loud and Horace Silver’s Serenade to a Soul Sister, while 1970s jazz-funk gets its spotlight via Donald Byrd’s Stepping Into Tomorrow and Eddie Henderson’s Heritage. A pair of 1980s LPs will be reissued to vinyl from the original analog master tapes for the first time, Tony Williams’ Civilization and Don Pullen’s New Beginnings.
