Zero Distortion: Tango Time

ps. Here are two photos, one with me checking the sound behind Ferit and one with the MBL speaker in between bass and drums in the background. We have lots of musicians play, we record them, listen back with them and also atendees take back uncompressed recordings back home. The idea is to have an actual reference to judge your hifi. It is not a commerical event, it is invitation only and I limit it to 60 people and keep my whole hotel closed except for that 60 people for noise and related issues. We make recordings in the acoustically treated room, an amphitheater and at the bar on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. There are also Professors talking about acoustics and a few demo systems. We do it on April. If fellow wbf members would like to join the next one, just let me know

What a fantastic idea!
Imagine if this caught on? If folks who attended concerts/shows were able to have that particular recording, uncompressed, they'd get used to that freedom of compression, and would start questioning why all the commercial stuff sounds "different" (ie. compressed).
Congrats on the initiative!

cheers,
Alex

Happy to see Ferit's album being recommended. It is a very nice recording with good arrangements and excellent playing.

If you allow me I would like to make some shameless promotion He is a dear friend and has played at my gathering with a trio, and was going to play with his quintet this year but it got postponed because of corona. We have recorded digitally last time but for the next one we are doing both 15ips analog tape and 352,8khz digital.

I wonder if people would be interested in a r2r edition of Dameronia with strings. He has the master tape. If enough people is commited, I can convince him for a limited run.

first off, i want to give credit to jazdoc for the Ferit recommendation. and i bought the 3 album box set and had it shipped from Turkey. 2 of the albums it seems are digitally sourced, still very good sound.

but the Dameronia recording is the most special so i linked that one. but the box set is overall very good.

sign me up for an RTR master dub of the Dameronia album. love Terell Stafford's trumpet too, great sound.

Thank you G. I last saw Nina in concert in Sydney quite a few years ago now. Wondrous, unforgettable + spellbinding.

Tell me who played the organ and drums on the "Westbury" clip and I will give away a copy on LP?

Samuel Waymon on organ and Bucky Clarke on drums

You Sir have gospel in your soul and a brand new(sort of) LP of sheer unobtanium.

 

[kodomo]

Thank you general, Nina has a special place in my heart, 'nuff said

 

[zerostargeneral]

Alluding to the commercial release is ultra smart,IMO,however calling Bucky was genius.

 

[kodomo]

You are too kind, thank you.

Hathaway is an absolute genius. Too bad he is not As well known as he should be.

My 5yr old came to my room and told me to play his favorite. Duke's Satin Doll. Mr.T the Thai who has both WAMM Master Cro and Living Voice gave me this popular audiophile d2d album. Sonically it is superb. Can you guys name 5 jazz albums that I must have.

If you like a bit of avant-garde/modern jazz, and not only the “Old Masters”, I highly recommend David Murray recordings on Soul Note/Black Saint label:
