No one really knew then that this was to become a cult recording among audiophiles and one of the most famous and respected jazz recordings ever made. The mere fact that a single jazz recording has been released in so many formats over a very long period of time (30 years) tells us that this recording must really be unique.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe two recording nights at the Pawnshop jazz club were exceptional indeed. The crowd lifted the musicians to the peak of their abilities, and I sat together with two Nagra recorders and engineer Gert Palmcrantz in the small bar kitchen and listened to the result of a microphone set up of a lifetime, surrounded by five musicians playing in some kind of trance. Total sales of the recording now exceed 500,000 copies, a tremendously good sales figure for classic jazz. And the records still sell at the rate of 3,000 – 4,000 copies per year today, some 40+ years after release\u003c\/em\u003e.”\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGive yourself a justifiable treat - Get a copy as quickly as you can!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"Their repertoire includes a few break-outs.

And with all of them in a couple of evergreens like \"Lady Be Good\" and \"How High The Moon\".

But, in truth, it’s a return to the music she grew up loving.\r\n\r\nThe 1st artist to be released Groove Note Records has already become a legend in her own time! Already a tremendous figure in her native Singapore, Jacintha has been turning heads and ears in this country as well. With an outstanding singing style on par with the greats, Jacintha will enrapture you in a perpetual state of musical bliss! (We're not ones for overstatement either.)\r\n\r\nJacintha debuts in the U.S. with a tribute to the legendary tenor saxophone player: Ben Webster. The songs have been specially selected to reflect this premise, i.e. they are mostly great vocal standards and\/or ballads that have been recorded by Webster many times and are thus associated with his particular style and name. Some of these songs like Stardust, How Long Has This Been Going On, Georgia and Our Love is Here to Stay, Over The Rainbow are Webster classics.\r\n\r\nThe recording was made on an ATR-100 tape machine with BASF-900 1\/4\" high-resolution tape running at 30ips. Only vintage microphones were used including the Neumann M-49 tube microphone set-up for Jacintha?s voice. The other microphones used (for the musicians) included Neumann M-50 and U-47. The recording and mastering cabling for this session was supplied by Audioquest (Lapis).\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j8O8Ryp3yYU","brand":"Groove Note Records","offers":[{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739184083268,"sku":"GRV1001-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739184116036,"sku":"GRV1001-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739184148804,"sku":"GRV1001-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739184181572,"sku":"GRV1001-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310242832708,"sku":"GRV1001-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/GRV1001_Heres-To-Ben.jpg?v=1790503237"},{"product_id":"jl009-the-sweetest-sound-pure-dsd","title":"The Sweetest Sound [Pure DSD]","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2018 NativeDSD Album Of The Year - Jazz Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ePure DSD\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e256\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStereo \u0026amp; 5 Channel\u003c\/strong\u003e recording from Just Listen Records; the in-house label of NativeDSD.  No equalization, mixing, compression or editing is used on this album.

More like a gathering of old friends, sharing each other’s life stories and experiences. That led me automatically to my old-time soulmate's guitar player Ed Verhoeff and bassist Eric van der Westen. 17 years ago, we started off as Verploegen, Verhoeff \u0026amp; van der Westen, performing a lot and recording our critically acclaimed debut album The Night And The Daydreamer.

The young fans in the house responded to both with great enthusiasm. So did audience members in their 70s and 80s.

I recognized some audience members who had driven from San Francisco or flown in from Hong Kong and different parts of the country for the event…. Yuko signed CDs and LPs at intermission with the longest lines I’ve seen in years….

Some listeners say it is the best of the One Microphone Recordings from Sound Liaison. The album is also available from NativeDSD Music in Stereo DSD 512, using the new modulators from Signalyst.\r\n\r\nReinier Voet tells us \u003cem\u003e\"I would say I have been as much influenced by Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery as Django Reinhardt, but I started out listening to Django, he was my first love, he was the reason I picked up the guitar.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eMy dad had some Django and other jazz records as well as some records with traditional Eastern European gypsy music. Somehow that music spoke more to me than the pop music of the day that my friends were listening to. I taught myself at first but eventually did end up studying Jazz at the Royal Conservatory of the Netherlands. Later I also accompanied gypsy jazz guitar masters like Fapy Lafertin and Jimmy Rosenberg.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eI learned a lot from these guys, but also from listening to more modern guitar players in that style, like Birèli Lagrene and Boulou Ferré. The most important lesson from these masters has been that, as Kenny Werner says, \"Innovation is the Tradition\", they encouraged me to find my own voice and not to be afraid of incorporating my other influences in my version of 'Jazz Manouche'. After all Django listened to Charlie Christian and Charlie Christian listened to Django!\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe roles in this quartet are clearly defined, you could say that the solid rhythm guitarist Jan Brouwer and steady bassist Jet Stevens represents the tradition, they know how to hold a groove, they have a deep pocket, the beat is completely secure in their hands.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eKarin van Kooten’s playing is refreshing. She has her own voice. So often in our field of music violin players tend to copy a bunch of Stephane Grappelli licks and then think they are set to go. Not so with Karin, she respects the tradition but dares to incorporate outside influences from classical to modern jazz music. So, getting back to Kenny Werner, she represents the innovation.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eI loved this entire process of recording with only one mic, it seems so well suited to this music, it’s back to basics, but what a sound!

For this reason, they chose to record all the songs as a live to DSD 256 session. Just one single session without corrections, editing or overdubs.\r\n\r\nDuring the recording phase, starting with the setup of the studio and the placement of instruments and microphones, they created a real \"immersive\" moment, such that the listeners will have the perception of attending an actual live concert.\r\n\r\nThe root of this choice is the need to capture the real sound of acoustic instruments. It has been possible by using the original working method of Gypsy Jazz’s father, and the Hot Club de France, who gave birth to a genre that is still alive and we must preserve as an important legacy in the history of contemporary music.\r\n\r\nIn that year the recording studios were rather limited in terms of technical solutions what was recorded on the tapes reflected the real skills of the musicians and the presence of some deburring or imperfections in the performance was a “plus”, meant as the intensity of improvisation and an unrepeatable moment.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGypsy Jazz Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nAugust Creni, Guitar (featured on Right Channel)\r\nMoreno Viglione, Guitar (featured on Left Channel)\r\nRenato Gattone, Double Bass","brand":"Forward Music Italy","offers":[{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332849988,"sku":"FMICA990011906-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332882756,"sku":"FMICA990011906-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332915524,"sku":"FMICA990011906-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332948292,"sku":"FMICA990011906-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332981060,"sku":"FMICA990011906-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310502224196,"sku":"FMICA990011906-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/FMICA990011906-2.jpg?v=1790531704"},{"product_id":"mrc2008-cool-jazz-pure-dsd","title":"Cool Jazz [Pure DSD]","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCool Jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is the \u003cstrong\u003eGabor Varga Jazz Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e's third album at Native DSD Music and one of our \u003cstrong\u003eAll Time DSD Jazz Best Sellers\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The album is a tribute to New Orleans, the place where jazz came to birth. Each song has a strong connection with its rich musical tradition that’s still so vibrant up to today.\r\n\r\nIn 2019, band members Hammond organist Bob Wijnen and trumpeter and flugelhorn player Ellister van der Molen visited the birthplace of jazz. This inspired Ellister to write two songs for “NOLA” – “Ahooo!” and “Sola”. She also arranged eleven New Orleans standards with Bob Wijnen. The pair also took the opportunity to play the music of New Orleans in several performances, including one with famed trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"Being a New Orleanian I really appreciate it when someone pays homage to the great musical history of my hometown.

'St James' pays homage to our classic history. Then the swinging nature of 'Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me' shows how the band has a grasp on many aspects of the musical diversity of NOLA.

Each track renders every inflection of Barber’s voice with astounding presence and clarity, perfectly complementing her nuance in ways that continue to redefine the standards of sound.\r\n\r\nAfter growing an international cult following, earning the first-ever Guggenheim Fellowship awarded to a non-classical songwriter, and becoming an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Patricia Barber is back with a “\u003cem\u003esilk, velvet, languid, warm\u003c\/em\u003e” journey through music history as she “\u003cem\u003erespects traditions, bends them to make her own points, and freshens them into something new\u003c\/em\u003e,” as noted in the album liner notes by NPR’s Susan Stamberg.\r\n\r\nThese are relaxed, communal sessions. Her long-time core duo of bassist Patrick Mulcahy and drummer Jon Deitemyer ride up and down, in and out of Barber’s complex, sensitive playing and reflective singing. The support of her long-term players, along with guitarist Neal Alger and saxophonist Jim Gailloretto allow her to shine brightly while digging out striking moments for their own unique contributions. The chemistry is palpable, all-encompassing. This group’s long-developed synergy—painstakingly curated by these musicians for years—provides both a metaphor and the perfect title for her new album.\r\n\r\nClique! was produced by Patricia Barber and Jim Anderson and recorded at Chicago Recording Company’s Studio 5 by Grammy-winning Recording Engineer and Producer Jim Anderson in Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound DXD. The album was mixed by Anderson at Skywalker Sound and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. The album's Technical Producer is Ulrike Schwarz at Anderson Audio New York. The recording was made using a Horus Analog to Digital Converter with Merging + Clock U in DXD (352.8 kHz) and Pyramix Workstation software, all from Merging Technologies.\r\n\r\nPatricia Barber says \u003cem\u003e\"The harmonic language of Jazz, as well as that of The Great American Songbook, is certainly rich.

As this is not the usual recording with a thousand cuts and replays but follows the classical recording method (rehearsing at home, recording in the studio), it requires a very high level of preparation from the performer. Since it is a solo performance, the situation is made even more difficult by the fact that there is no other instrument to rely on, even if only for a short time.\r\n\r\nYou can hear every little noise from the bass, so the whole piece must be played with the utmost attention, and if that attention is distracted for as little as a moment, you need to start the recording again. In this case, two and a half studio days were allotted for the twelve pieces, which proved sufficient time for the recording. Some compositions were recorded on the second time, some on the fifth, and some on the first. It was a great help that my friend, László Gazdag, who also made my first album, gave me maximum support during the studio work, for which I am really grateful to him.\r\n\r\nI knew that the \"stimulus rich\" home environment would make it very difficult to prepare for the studio session. I would have been able to practice only as a sideline to the daily chores at home, and directing my thoughts in one direction would not have been effective. So, I rented a small cottage in the countryside, in a lovely little village called Tiszasas. Here, in the undisturbed, quiet countryside, I could really concentrate on the music. I systematically went through the songs. I picked one, recorded it, listened back, corrected it, and then checked it again after replaying it. This is a very tedious, labor intensive and attention- demanding process of practice but in this environment, it became a focused and passionate creative process.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCsaba Pengő, Double Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hunnia Records","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740049617220,"sku":"HRES2313-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740049649988,"sku":"HRES2313-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740049682756,"sku":"HRES2313-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740049715524,"sku":"HRES2313-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740049748292,"sku":"HRES2313-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339343634756,"sku":"HRES2313-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/HRES2313.jpg?v=1778491912"},{"product_id":"aanyirait2023-as-i-travel","title":"As I Travel","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs I Travel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e depicts poignant moments in the personal journey of celebrated Jazz Pianist and Composer \u003cstrong\u003eDonald Vega\u003c\/strong\u003e beginning from his hometown in Masaya, Nicaragua through his worldwide travels performing as an established artist. Mr. Vega illustrates this emotional journey, leaving his home country due to civil war and entering America as an undocumented immigrant through a mix of original compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nWith this album, one is immediately immersed in highly structured Jazz. It must be said that the musicians featured on this album are all equally fascinating – \u003cstrong\u003eLewis Nash\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums), \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Patitucci\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass), and \u003cstrong\u003eLuisito Quintero\u003c\/strong\u003e (percussion). The story behind “As I Travel” began long before the album was conceived as an idea. At the age of 14, guided by his mother, who had already started the process of moving to America to pave the way for her family, Vega fled the civil war in Nicaragua and immigrated to the United States. \u003cem\u003e“This album tells an American story,”\u003c\/em\u003e says Vega. \u003cem\u003e“The subject of immigration has been debated in the United States since its foundation. Regardless of where you stand, every immigrant’s story is unique, full of hope, and often sorrow.”\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe album continues with a joyful exploration of Mr. Vega’s move to NYC, an ultimate stepping stone leading to worldwide performances. This album takes listeners on a musical journey full of Melodic Harmonies, Symphonic Rhythms and Latin Jazz and Swing that is sure to leave them blown away and wanting more.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nDonald Vega is far from being an unknown figure. Having studied directly under jazz legends such as \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Clayton\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBilly Higgins\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eKenny Barron\u003c\/strong\u003e, being an integral part of the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eRon Carter Golden Striker Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e, and recently being selected as a Guggenheim fellow, Vega has had an impressive and diverse career that has consistently propelled him to the heights of the Jazz landscape. Originally from Nicaragua, Vega immigrated to the United States at the age of 14 and was deeply influenced by the people and experiences that accompanied him from his childhood to becoming the musician and person he is today.\r\n\r\nThe strength of his story is found in this album. In the form of journeys, melodies that sometimes feel familiar, which are merely a reflection of this shared artistic consciousness that captures sounds from wherever they come and reinterprets them in different forms, on the fly, shaping a work of art. During his early years in America, Vega spoke little to no English, and his primary form of intercultural communication was through music. This multifaceted reliance and joyful liberation that Vega found in music pushed him to deepen his passion for the discipline and art, eventually allowing him to study at the \u003cstrong\u003eManhattan School of Music\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eJuilliard School\u003c\/strong\u003e.\r\n\r\nJust by the titles of the songs on this album, you embark on a journey, even an invitation to travel. The richness of Vega’s music is that of every migrant in the land of the United States. The ability to overlay their own culture on an artistic quest that encompasses that of the host country.\r\n\r\nThe same applies to all other forms of art for every artist who arrives here. This album is fascinating in all these aspects, thanks to Donald Vega’s rhythmic and melodic sensibility. It easily takes us to the end of this album, making it clear that if, like the editors of Bayou Blue Radio and Paris-Move, you appreciate spicy and well-structured jazz, you’ll understand why we consider it an “Essential.”\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs I Travel is Exclusively Available in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128 and DSD 64 at NativeDSD thanks to our signature \u003ca class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/product-tag\/higher-rate-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHigher Rates Program\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDonald Vega, Piano \u0026amp; Compositions\r\nLewis Nash, Drums\r\nJohn Patitucci, Bass\r\nLuisito Quintero, Percussion\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Anderson Audio New York","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125311300,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125344068,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125376836,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125409604,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125442372,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125475140,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740125507908,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-35","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339517632836,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 9.1ch Discrete","offer_id":57339517665604,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-66","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"MKV 48 kHz \/ 7.1.4ch Dolby Atmos","offer_id":57339517698372,"sku":"AANYIRAIT2023-68","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/AANYIRAIT2023.jpg?v=1778493078"},{"product_id":"jl030-the-first-at-last-pure-dsd","title":"The First at Last [Pure DSD]","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. Saxophonist \u003cstrong\u003eJasper Staps\u003c\/strong\u003e and pianist \u003cstrong\u003eRembrandt Frerichs\u003c\/strong\u003e are returning the focus to telling a musical story and the pure beauty of jazz on their highly anticipated debut album. After a friendship of twenty-five years and countless joint performances in between their individual projects, they are finally joining forces to treat the world to \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe First at Last\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e - two seasoned jazz icons playing in quartet with two fresh up-and-comers who have swing running in their blood, making a magnificent album of \"simply good jazz”.\r\n\r\nThe album is a celebration of their deep-rooted friendship and a tribute to the musical movements that have inspired them from a young age. 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. They are happy to embrace possible imperfections or bleed in the pursuit of rendering their music as naturally as possible.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJasper Staps, Saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRembrands Frerichs, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatheus Nikolaievsky, Double Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMitchell Damen, Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330207686980,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330207719748,"sku":"JL030-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330207752516,"sku":"JL030-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330207785284,"sku":"JL030-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330207818052,"sku":"JL030-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330207850820,"sku":"JL030-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330207883588,"sku":"JL030-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330207916356,"sku":"JL030-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330207949124,"sku":"JL030-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330207981892,"sku":"JL030-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330208014660,"sku":"JL030-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":57330208047428,"sku":"JL030-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57330208080196,"sku":"JL030-35","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339999060292,"sku":"JL030S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339999093060,"sku":"JL030S1517","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339999125828,"sku":"JL030S1617","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339999158596,"sku":"JL030S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339999191364,"sku":"JL030S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL030_8670d6df-9cf6-4fc5-b48e-a81a7a2d84d5.jpg?v=1790339657"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/collections\/jazz-must-haves.oembed","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
