Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson – Very Tall – Verve Records 180g Vinyl
Scott Yanow of AllMusic says in his 4-Star review of Very Tall: “This first matchup on records between pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson was so logical that it is surprising it did not occur five years earlier. Originally recorded for Verve and three decades later reissued on this audiophile CD by Mobile Fidelity, the quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) swings as hard as one might expect. Highlights include ‘On Green Dolphin Street,’ ‘The Work Song,’ ‘John Brown’s Body’ (a jam on ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’) and ‘Reunion Blues.’ Fortunately O.P. and Bags would meet up on records many times in the future (particularly during their Pablo years) but this first effort is a particularly strong set.”
Revival Audio – Sprint 3 Loudspeakers
The dictionary describes “sound” as “vibrations that travel through the air”. But to us, it’s so much more than that.
We believe that sound is a science and an art, which we strived to take to the next level through SPRINT.
Just as with our ATALANTE line, the SPRINT affordable speaker range was developed in collaboration with A+A Cooren Design, a Le French Design 100 Award-winning French studio in Paris. When conceptualising SPRINT, it didn’t take us long to determine what we had to do. We wanted to build a speaker that embodied modern French elegance, coupled with classic aesthetic minimalism. After many months of refinement and finessing, we are finally ready to bring SPRINT to the world.
The ”ELYTRON” makes SPRINT incredibly unique, with its organic shape and concealed grill covers at the back. ELYTRON’s colour was specially selected to match all three SPRINT finishes – Walnut, Blonde Oak, and Matte Black.
Every minute detail and nuance was designed with purpose to create a visual and auditory experience like no other. From the golden ratio of the cabinet, to the special-picked vinyl, SPRINT was built to make listening a pleasure every single day.
