Duke Ellington & John Coltrane – Duke Ellington & John Coltrane 180g Analogue Productions Vinyl
“The soundstage is intimate and inviting, Webster’s horn beautifully captured with sweet, rich overtornes, the bass liquid, chugging, and textured, piano and drums easy and natural. As with each title, the music emerges from QRP’s beautifully flat and wonderfully silent surfaces with that much more “there-ness.” Sonics = 4/5; Music = 3.5/5 — Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, January 2013
Petteri Iivonen: J.S. Bach Partita No. 2 in D Minor 180g 45RPM Vinyl
After living a number of years in the United States, GRAMMY® and ICMA Nominated Finnish violinist Petteri Iivonen returned to Europe where he became concertmaster of the Finnish Opera orchestra in Helsinki before moving to Paris to serve as concertmaster for the Paris Opera. Petteri’s ability to play in many styles with sincerity and his natural lyrical facility with his instrument made him the ideal candidate to work with luminary conductors such as Esa-Pekka Salonen in Helsinki and now Gustavo Dudamel at Paris Opera.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young – Deja Vu (2021 Remaster) Atlantic 180g Vinyl
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Déjà Vu was the most-anticipated new album in America in 1970. More than 50 years later, it’s one of the most famous albums in rock history with legendary songs, including “Carry On,” “Teach Your Children,” “Our House” and “Woodstock” that still resonate today.
This groundbreaking album went on to be certified 7x platinum-selling in the U.S., platinum in France, and gold in Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.
James Taylor – JT – Mofi 180g Vinyl
Sourced From the Original Analog Master Tapes and Pressed at Rti for Exceptional Sound 1/4″ / 15 IPS / Dolby A analog master to DSD 64 to analog console to lathe
James Taylor’s best-selling record since 1970’s hallmark Sweet Baby James, the triple-platinum JT takes its permanent place as one of the singer’s most enduring albums — an affair that gorges on country, blues, and rock styles as well as incisive songwriting. As the preeminent singer-songwriter’s Columbia debut, it catapulted Taylor back into the limelight and reestablished his place as the era’s leading-edge folk-rock troubadour.
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella & Louis – Analogue Productions 180g Stereo Vinyl
It is undeniable that Billie Holiday’s singing changed in her later years. Her voice darkened and shifted to a lower range. Her economy of means distilled her sound to its expressive essence — a kind of heightened speech. The classic LP Songs For Distingue Lovers has also deepened and become burnished with time. Maybe it’s that still-arresting word, “distingue”; maybe it’s that iconic, tinted image of Lady Day on the cover. But now that legendary LP, with the singer’s best studio work of the Fifties, is available through the Acoustic Sounds Series.
Fritz Reiner – Spain – Analogue Productions 180g Stereo Vinyl
Rimsky Korsakov – Scheherazade Chasing The Dragon Audiophile Vinyl
Jack Wilson – Easterly Winds – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl
The six-song set presented four Wilson originals including the groovy opener “Do It” and the sublime ballad “Nirvanna” in addition to a tender rendition of the Johnny Mandel tune “A Time for Love” and “Frank’s Tune” by Frank Strozier, which was recently reimagined by Makaya McCraven on his 2021 Blue Note remix project Deciphering the Message.
Jackie McLean – Demon’s Dance – Blue Note (Tone Poet) 180g Vinyl
Jackie McLean’s music weaved in and out of the avant-garde throughout the 1960s with the brilliant 1963 inside-out dates One Step Beyond and Destination… Out! eventually leading to full-throated free jazz of the 1967 dates New and Old Gospel (featuring Ornette Coleman on trumpet) and ‘Bout Soul. Demon’s Dance, which was recorded in December 1967, found the alto saxophonist maintaining a decidedly post-bop edge with a spirited quintet comprised of trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist LaMont Johnson, bassist Scott Holt, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The six-song set presented a pair of tunes each by McLean, Shaw, and composer Cal Massey with highlights including McLean’s churning title track, Shaw’s tuneful bossa “Sweet Love of Mine,” and Massey’s brightly swinging “Message from Trane” in tribute to the great John Coltrane who had passed away early that year. But the album’s most striking feature may be the unforgettable cover artwork by Mati Klarwein whose work also graced the cover of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew.
