We both brought different compositions to the table, but also improvised freely. From the first moment it felt familiar and special. I felt that I had found a musical friend. When we play together we make music from sound and space. Intuition and curiosity are our characteristics.\r\n\r\nOn the first day of the recording Changing Landscapes, I walked through the doors of the MCO Studio 1 in Hilversum. A beautifully large room with great acoustics. There was a fantastic Steinway Concert Wing piano that had just been overhauled. The keys have a light touch with a tight control over the hammer. The feeling of the contact between your fingertip and the sound you make with it is unbelievable.\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePiano and Quintone\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nI knew immediately that this would be a special recording. We played without amplification and without headphones. Oene was positioned to the left of me, behind the open wing flap. After a few takes we gradually turned to the positioning and the sound between Piano and Quintone.\r\n\r\nWith Jared Sacks, we made a plan to play much more than to listen, and that we were not going to make  choices on the day in terms of takes. For me this was a surprise because I am used to making certain  choices in the studio based on listening to the recorded takes in the moment. I trusted Jared and we took the rest of the day and the day that followed, without really listening back.\r\n\r\nA few weeks later Jared forwarded the DSD recordings and I was positively surprised! This is a very special sound. I hear every little detail of what I played. The combination with Oene comes across beautifully. The space of the MCO carries the sound.  I am very impressed with Jared’s way of recording - and you, the listener - will be too.\r\n\r\n-- \u003cem\u003ePhilipp Rüttgers\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308915302724,"sku":"JL011-CD","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL011-1.jpg?v=1790081966"},{"product_id":"jl017-cd-curiosity-pure-dsd","title":"Curiosity [Pure DSD] (CD)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eExclusively Available in Stereo \u0026amp; 5 Channel Surround Sound Pure DSD 256 at NativeDSD! \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuriosity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is the essence of being human, the engine that fuels science as well as art.

These are the words of double bassist Egon Kracht (Velsen, 1966), the driving force behind many ensembles, environmentalist and visionary. Together with his wife, Noortje Braat, he is building his own sustainable and self-sufficient house in Almere. Discarded car tyres and sand are the main building materials. He feels equally at ease as a construction worker as he does as a musician.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMusical Synthesis\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n“In my music I try to find a synthesis between various genres”, he says. “Pop, jazz, classical, contemporary, I find them all equally appealing. I love Zappa just as much as I love Bach. That’s why I’ve founded the New World Quartet. It’s an ensemble in which musical worlds meet in a new and sustainable vision of the future of art.”\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nAt the age of eleven, Kracht chose the double bass as his instrument and since then he has become one with it. Renowned Dutch jazz musicians like saxophonist Dick de Graaf, drummer Pierre Courbois and saxophonist Theo Loevendie requested his services. Bassist Niko Langenhuijsen’s ‘Gemeentereinigingsorkest’ Vaalbleek and the Willem Breuker Kollektief were among his favourite orchestras. We find the influence of their music in many of his projects. With his adaptation of Bach’s ‘St. Matthew Passion’ and his own ‘Judas Passion’ and ‘Stabat Mater Stabat Pater’ he caused quite a stir in the Dutch classical music scene. He is an inventor, a composer looking for new and different forms.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDances\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe music he wrote for the New World Quartet is the musical result of all of the above: ‘Dances’, a musical novel with a prologue and two suites. Double bassist Kracht takes the plunge, joined by flugelhorn player Angelo Verploegen, baritone saxophonist Jan Menu and accordionist Rik Cornelissen. The opener, ‘Evolutionary Tango’, is a musical translation of the evolution, latched on to the pulse of the Argentinian tango: an inescapable rhythm, which feels like the heartbeat of someone in love. The flugelhorn sounds as free as a bird, and the baritone saxophone gives him a musical answer. Meanwhile, the accordion depicts the pain of daily life and the struggle for survival.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCivilization Suite\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe ‘Civilization Suite’ starts off with the light-footed sketch ‘Transitioned’. Giovanni Felice Sances’s baroque dance music enters with ‘Accenti Queruli’. Then the staccato ‘Civilization #2’ takes over and we are surprised by the introduction of John Dowland’s ‘Can She Excuse My Wrongs’, a moment in which the minstrel directly enters the modern age. It’s an ancient song, made world-famous by Sting’s performance. ‘Civilization #4’ brings us yet another ominous staccato. The grumpy baritone sax lashes out and gives expression to the idea that our civilization is really taking a wrong turn.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGalanthus Nivalis\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThe first suite felt mainly ominous, but in ‘Galanthus Nivalis’, Kracht seems to have taken another direction. The first part opens with positive vistas. This trend is continued in the course of the suite. There is still hope for our world, if we are willing to lead a life of sustainability.\r\n\r\nEgon Kracht and his New World Quartet are the living musical proof of this!\r\n\r\nCyriel Pluimakers, July 2019.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GFlO7SltUKg","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308915958084,"sku":"JL020-CD","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL020-1.jpg?v=1790081992"},{"product_id":"jl019-cd-the-duke-book-the-music-of-duke-ellington-and-billy-strayhorn-pure-dsd","title":"The Duke Book: The Music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn [Pure DSD] (CD)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen\u003c\/strong\u003e dazzled NativeDSD listeners with his Jazz trio and their Just Listen release \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sweetest Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.

Music with character, full of love and emotion, but never sugary.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eKobra\u003c\/em\u003e begins with two folk songs about love. The first song, \u003cem\u003eKaval Sviri,\u003c\/em\u003e is a popular Bulgarian folk song about a flute player.

In the alternation of hushed chords and exuberant rhythms, intense sadness and the celebration of love may coexist.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe Ludions\u003c\/em\u003e form a light-hearted interlude: five small poems about striking animals, romantic pain, and exotic love.

This album contains pieces that fit the more spiritual, traditional Persian repertoire, as well as a number of more worldly songs on which the Rembrandt Trio is expanded into a larger ensemble, with violin, cello and clarinet. Thus, the collaboration between the Rembrandt Trio and Motamedi becomes an adventurous journey through the colorful Persian musical landscape, where musicians from different continents find a shared language in music and improvisation.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotamedi \u0026amp; Rembrandt Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nThe Rembrandt Trio, consisting of Rembrandt Frerichs (piano), Tony Overwater (double bass\/violone) and Vinsent Planjer (drums and percussion), shares a deep curiosity and wanderlust, and has successfully collaborated several times with Iranian grandmasters like Hossein Alizadeh and Kayhan Kalhor. Because of their jazz background, the trio has extensive experience in improvisation, which is essential to their successful collaborations with Iranians; improvisation plays a crucial role in traditional Persian classical music.\r\n\r\nMotamedi's approach is fascinating; upon hearing the trio's first bars, he delves into his memory to find poems that fit the mood. He knows countless poems from the Persian canon, which he recites and sings, while freely improvising on the trio's music and being rhythmically guided by the metre. The text is fixed, but the melody and music intertwine, responding to each other and allowing for plenty of improvisation.\r\n\r\nThe collaboration between Motamedi and the Rembrandt Trio grew out of a special friendship that began with a spontaneous jam session at Tony Overwater's kitchen table. For the trio, which rarely works with vocalists, Motamedi's presence adds an extra layer of meaning. Now, in addition to notes, there are also words that carry meaning, even if it is a foreign language to them. The trio faces the challenge of feeling, interpreting and translating the content of Motamedi's vocals into their own playing.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e(Songs of) Longing\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nThe album was recorded before the recent uprisings in Iran. However, in retrospect, almost all of the lyrics Motamedi uses are directly or indirectly about the suffering of his beloved homeland. The title, \"\u003cem\u003eIntizar\u003c\/em\u003e,\" represents the longing for freedom and a better time. It is a word used in Turkish, Farsi and Arabic and expresses hopeful anticipation. This album symbolizes the inner struggle in Iranian culture while offering hope for a new era, a return to a freer and more open society.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo worlds\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n'Intizar' contains both worldly and spiritual music, reflecting the two facets of modern Iranian culture. Iranian worldly music often includes popular songs from the regional tradition, complemented by Western instruments and playing styles. This album contains two pieces from the worldly tradition and four pieces more in keeping with the classical Persian tradition, characterized by the use of poetry combined with instrumental and vocal improvisation. The Rembrandt Trio and Motamedi interpret these styles in their own unique way, combining instruments from Western and ancient music.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nThe album was recorded at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, a former church converted into a concert hall for (church) organs. The venue's diverse organs and exceptional acoustics, especially for chamber and organ music, made for the ideal place to record Motamedi's vocals. The combination of organs with Motamedi's improvisations is a rarity, making it a unique aspect of the album.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nThe musical system of Persian music differs from the Western European system in that it is modal in nature and uses microtonal ranges, while European music uses harmony and tempered tuning. The piano, designed as a tempered instrument, is not ideal for microtonal music. Nevertheless, an Iranian piano school has emerged that experiments with the piano because of its similarity to the santur, a hammered dulcimer. In this, Rembrandt Frerichs has developed his own language by using the old fortepiano (from the time of Mozart) as a starting point. This instrument is more closely related to the santur and, because of its construction and more subtle sound, allows itself to be better used for the modal Persian ranges.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRembrandt Frerichs\u003c\/strong\u003e played several instruments on this album: the Walter fortepiano (from 1790), an Erard fortepiano (from 1889) and a number of organs from the Orgelpark. For the piece \"in the Middle of the garden,\" he tuned the Walter fortepiano to the dasthgah Nava, using microtones. \u003cstrong\u003eTony Overwater\u003c\/strong\u003e uses both the violone, forerunner of the double bass and related to the viola da gamba, and the double bass on the album.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinsent Planjer\u003c\/strong\u003e plays a self-assembled set of percussion instruments that he calls the Whisperkit. \u003cstrong\u003eMaya Fridman\u003c\/strong\u003e (cello), \u003cstrong\u003eMaarten Ornstein\u003c\/strong\u003e (clarinet) and \u003cstrong\u003eMyrthe Helder\u003c\/strong\u003e were invited to enrich some of the compositions and arrangements on the album with their playing.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMohammad Motamedi - Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRembrandt Frerichs - Piano, Fortepiano \u0026amp; Organ\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTony Overwater - Violone \u0026amp; Double Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinsent Planjer - Whisper Kit \u0026amp; Percussion\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMyrthe Helder - Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaya Fridman - Cello\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaarten Ornstein - Clarinet\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eThis album has been reviewed in our blog by music reviewer Rush Paul. \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/dsd-reviews\/notes-from-recent-finds-no-13-gems-from-cobra-eudora-just-listen-and-lawo\/\"\u003eGo To Article\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308924182852,"sku":"JL031-CD","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL031_1000.jpg?v=1790082087"},{"product_id":"jl030-cd-the-first-at-last-pure-dsd","title":"The First at Last [Pure DSD] (CD)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e2024 Album of the Year Award Winner - Jazz Ensemble\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nIn the modern jazz landscape, where innovation and experimentation prevail, the human interaction of jazz sometimes runs the risk of being lost.

Jasper Staps and Rembrandt Frerichs met years ago at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and immediately felt a strong connection. While Jasper shaped his career as an arranger, conductor and sideman in jazz orchestras, Rembrandt followed his curiosity and developed into a pianist-composer who performed all over the world, experimenting with different musical genres, from Middle Eastern and Early music to collaborations with classical music orchestras. Although they each went their separate ways, the friendship remained strong and brotherly, always finding each other during small performances in between, playing jazz music. On this album, Staps and Frerichs are joined by young musicians \u003cstrong\u003eMatheus Nikolaievsky\u003c\/strong\u003e on double bass and \u003cstrong\u003eMitchell Damen\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums. The interplay between the experienced jazz veterans and the rhythm section of rookies creates an interesting dynamic within the band. It is a meeting of established names and promising newcomers, resulting in a lively and fresh sound.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eJazz on Historical Instruments - a vintage sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nA remarkable aspect of this album is Rembrandt's choice to play on a historic 1903 Fortepiano by the top French instrument maker Erard. An instrument that represents a piano sound also heard by Gershwin and the early jazz pianists when they made their jazz.... This historic instrument has a unique character, a somewhat sleeker sound than modern Steinways that are often so harsh that they suppress all the overtones of saxophone and double bass. Staps his saxophone has a very vintage character as well. \"I chose the piano because of Jasper's sound,\" says Frerichs. \"Jasper has such a beautiful timbre - when he plays you step into a bath of sound. I wanted the same vintage tone, and playing on a first-rate instrument that they might have played on in the fifties - it's a nod to classical chamber music, historical performance practice, as well as the jazz we listened to as boys.\"\r\n\r\nThe quartet has chosen to record with \u003cstrong\u003eJust Listen Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, an audiophile label that makes their own recordings, and always do so in a live setting, in a place where the musicians can be in the same room and close to each other, preserving the live energy.

All of the (a little over a handful) original compositions presented here tell their own story...\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003e- Angelo Verploegen\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen, Flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eNils van Haften, Saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarc van Roon, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuus Bakker, Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJasper van Hulten, Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308925067588,"sku":"JL032-CD","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL032.jpg?v=1790082134"},{"product_id":"jl033-cd-little-dancer-songs-of-love-hope-comfort","title":"Little Dancer: Songs of Love, Hope \u0026 Comfort (CD)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLittle Dancer \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003efeaturing \u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeroen van Vliet \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003efrom\u003cstrong\u003e Just Listen \u003c\/strong\u003eis an \u003cstrong\u003eExclusive Early Release in Stereo and 5 Channel Surround Sound at \u003cem\u003eNativeDSD!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"My grandson. His birth, in early 2023, had an overwhelming emotional impact on me. I experienced an unspeakable feeling of sheer joy and happiness, but there was also an almost unavoidable underlying sense of worry. What challenges await him and his generation? I had no choice but to start looking for songs of love, hope, comfort, life, and childhood, and perform them in the most intimate and vulnerable setting.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eHow lucky I was to run into pianist \u003cstrong\u003eJeroen van Vliet \u003c\/strong\u003eagain. We had played as a duo before (at the closing weekend of the old Bimhuis in 2005), and he was part of my semi-acoustic quartet, Executive Lounge. His strong sense of form, sensibility, creativity, and musical intuition would make a perfect match for my intentions for this album.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n- Angelo Verploegen\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen, Flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJeroen van Vliet, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57308925657412,"sku":"JL033-CD","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL033.jpg?v=1790082144"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/collections\/cd.oembed","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
