What puzzles me is that I can hear/feel the low note on my good equipment but I would think that there might be a probleem when playing is on normal speakers but there it sounds fine too, although I dont feel the low then.
Bought the 24bit hi-res download at the SOUND LIAISON WEBSITE
I think the Flac at the CARMEN GOMES BAND CAMP WEBSITE is 16bit just like the CD or ?
But anyhow it's a superb album. And it is so much more than a tribute album. They really make the songs their own. A blues album with an ECM vibe. Well done! and that low 27hz A note from the bass in the beginning...whew...makes my .......rattle

This is a great album. Superb one mic. The most intimate yet of all the one mic albums.Amulet download
I completely agree. I love the purity of the sound and Michael Moore the clarinet player, is absolutely amazing, every note is so heartfelt and to the point. Incredible album.

Very very well done. It is as having the two masters in my listening room.

And if I may recommend Paul Berner's Road To Memphis album;
ROAD TO MEMPHISand his newly discovered album with Monty Alexander live at Bubbas in 1983 ; -live-at-bubbas
Maybe the live album is a bit less audiophile but the Memphis album sounds superb.
This is from his pre-audiophile period?This early Macleod album is available signed at Doug's website. It's one of his finest:https://www.doug-macleod.com/store.html
I have this album and his 2 years earlier Come to Find album, both on Audioquest (mid '90's). Before Reference Records, but still with some heavy duty audiophile credentials - Bernie Grundman mastering, Audioquest label, with JVC XRCD parallel release. According to Acoustic Sounds, the previous Come to Find album was analogue and they issued a vinyl version a few years ago with Kevin Grey remastering from the original analogue tapes. According to the write up of Audioquest Records (later Sledgehammer) it says they did analog recordings, not digital. So looks pretty audiophile (great sound) to me. Larry

Well researched answer! Now I understand why it sounds so good. Thanks
There a someone out there who agrees with you. Great review of the album in hifi critic:
Amulet download
"This is about as simple a recording as you’re ever going to hear: two musicians, one microphone and each track performed live, straight to DXD recording – and it’s totally enchanting…all that spontaneity comes over in spades in this set, which has the usual Sound Liaison recording quality, plus that unmistakable sense of two musicians just bouncing off each other, improvising and making the shape of the songs up as they went along. This is as live as it gets, with a real "in the room with the musicians" impression.'"—Andrew Everard, Hifi Critic
You knew it was just a matter of time before somebody would suggest MJ while listening at reasonably loud volume levels.
Yes indeed that is a good and precise revview.
I played the album for a couple of friends over for dinner Sunday but at first when I said I was going to play a clarinet/bass duet they said; "oh no please don't play any weird jazz right after the meal" ....I put on track 5 "Night Ride Home" anyway and everyone just fell quite and listened through the whole track only commenting on how good it sounded. For anyone interested listen here; Tr.5 Night Ride Home
