    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Thanks Don! It's a fun experiment. I wasn't supposed to do it in that room initially and we pulled it together somewhat fast. I feel it may have been more convincing as a blend in the darTZeel/Stenheim room upstairs, where we had more time to dial things in (even as I thought the system in both...

    Axpona 2024 who is going and why?

    Hi everyone, In case anyone here is interested, I'm playing live to custom backing tracks in the darTZeel room (room 1210). It's at 11 am and 2 pm. The system is darTZeel integrated amp and Stenheim Alumine 3SE speakers (we had the 2.5 yesterday but I think they are switching back to the 3SE...

    Looking forward to it as well! I'll definitely have copies of "Vintage", on vinyl and also a few R2R copies. "Heart" won't be out yet (it comes out on August 30) but it will be on pre-order (at a special pre-order price).

    "Vintage", an all analog jazz Lp, from Jason Sabbagh

    Different instrumentation, less rocking than "The Turn" with Ben Monder's guitar, a bit more straight ahead, but if you liked "The Turn", and you are not averse to more traditional forms of jazz, you probably would like both. You can check out "Vintage" on the streaming sites. "Heart" will be...

    Stereophile's Alex Halberstadt just published a piece that talks about "Vintage", as well as my upcoming record "Heart" and the all analog label I am creating with Pete Rende, Analog Tone Factory. The piece also talks about Dave Slagle's autoformer based passive preamps, which certainly sounded...

    "Vintage", a new AAA jazz recording by Jerome Sabbagh

    Thanks a lot @hopkins! And thanks for coming to the gig in Paris. It's true that nothing replaces live music, no matter how great stereos get, and how careful we are in recording. To me, with the kind of music I play, coming reasonably close to the sound, feel, and emotion of live music is what...

    For those of you who are interested, the fine folks at Jazzbums just interviewed me about "Vintage" and other things, including the all analog label I am creating.
