They invited master bassist Tony Overwater and pianist extraordinaire Bert van den Brink to come and play a concert in the listening room of the shop. The room was filled to the brim with audio enthusiasts, the closest listener being just a few feet from the musicians and the microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the audience is so close to the musicians, a synergy occurs. The audience becomes part of the music making and help spur the musicians on to great heights. The musicians feeling the empathy from the audience dare to take chances that one rarely hears in a studio recording. Tony and Bert had not performed together as a duo before, and no rehearsal had taken place prior to the Rhapsody concert, but the music these two masters of improvisation created that sunny afternoon in Rhapsody, is simply breathtaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recording conditions were not ideal. The doors in the back of the room were opened several times by people trying to squeeze in, making the sound from the espresso machine in the hall and the DJ playing ambient music in the garden faintly audible at the beginning of each set.

No doubt about it. They belong to the absolute top of European Jazz. They have played with everybody who is somebody in the world of Jazz.\r\n\r\nWhat really makes this album special is the love and dedication they bring to Louis Armstrong's music. Listening to the 8 compositions presented here one realizes that genre is completely irrelevant. The 8 pieces of music were performed Live In The Studio in front of an audience of 80 people. The musicians were placed in front of a stereo pair of microphones with additional spot microphones on each instrument.\r\n\r\nThe musicians were playing without headphones, the reason being that we believe that when we get the musicians to play together in the same room, without headphones, it creates a number of musical and technical benefits. As they are not 'separated' by the headphones, the musicians, in order to hear each other are forced to create a natural and musical balance. A balance which is then easily captured by the main stereo pair of microphones.\r\n\r\nBecause of this natural and musical balance the need for compression to control levels is no longer necessary. Since everybody is in the same room, the boxed sound which is so common in many modern recordings is absent as the sound of the room helps 'glue' the sound of the recording.\r\n\r\nThe recording took place in the now legendary Studio 2, situated in the the building of the Dutch Music Centre of Broadcasters (MCO). It is the oldest recording studio in the Netherlands and has hosted a wealth of prominent artists; Django Reinhardt, was there in 1937, Jazz at the Philharmonic featuring Ella Fitzgerald in 1953, and in the 1960’ Wes Montgomery, Clark Terry and Eric Dolphy all recorded in the studio.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuud Breuls - Trumpet and Flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimon Rigter - Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarel Boehlee - Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJos Machtel - Double Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarcel Serierse - Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739208167748,"sku":"SL1027A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739208200516,"sku":"SL1027A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739208233284,"sku":"SL1027A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739208266052,"sku":"SL1027A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739208298820,"sku":"SL1027A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310353293636,"sku":"SL1027A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1027A-1.jpg?v=1790508911"},{"product_id":"sl1028a-tettero-plays-eddie-harris-and-les-mccann","title":"Tettero Plays Eddie Harris and Les McCann","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eNow Available in Stereo DSD 512! \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTettero Plays Eddie Harris \u0026amp; Les McCann \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eis an album that pays tribute to the music of the legendary Jazz Duo.

We have one pair of ears, so why not take a stereo microphone, place it in front of the band and press record? Simple ...but somehow it does not work like that. At least we had not yet heard one microphone recording of a whole band that we found completely satisfying.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eAt Sound Liaison, we are big fans of Josephson microphones. They are the secret to our critically acclaimed double bass sound. So, we thought that if one mic were able to do the impossible, it would be the Josephson C700S stereo microphone.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWe had hoped to be able to try it out on a Carmen Gomes’ recording session, but there was an unforeseen problem with the delivery, the mic would not be on time. Having booked the studio and the musicians, we decided to go ahead and record the album the way we mostly do, a stereo pair and spot mics on the individual instruments.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWe had just recorded the last song of the session when the Josephson C700S arrived. The band had to go and play a gig in the evening and Frans had a lot on his mind that day, so nobody was really in the mood for testing a new microphone, but Carmen said: Come on, let's just make a quick take of something simple; \"Let’s play 'How Long'!\". So, we all gathered around the mic, made the take, packed up and rushed off to the gig of the evening.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eNext day Frans called me up and said, \"I can’t stop listening\".\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"Did you already make a premix of the session\", I asked.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"No, I am talking about the one taken with the Josephson C700S; there is something very special about it, we need to really test that mic. Could you all come back next month?\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe band has just spent 3 days recording an album and we were pleased with the result. So as not to waste any precious studio time, we grabbed a bunch of songs that have been in our live repertoire for years and went back in.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eMulti track recording has advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that you can make an instrument louder or softer as you please. The bad thing when the recording is done in one room is phase. The most time-consuming aspect of our way of recording is getting the phase between the mics right. Frans de Rond is a true genius in that field and his expertise is one of the secrets to our well-defined sound stage.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eNow with only one mic the challenge lay elsewhere. Mixing was no longer possible. We would have to make the complete sound stage right there by carefully moving each instrument closer or further away as well as left and right in relationship to the microphone.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eCarmen was given headphones so she could hear exactly what the mic was hearing. She could then direct the musicians and with hand gestures let each band member play louder or softer.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eSpecial credit goes to drummer Bert Kamsteeg who, while playing a full modern drum kit, managed to drive and color each tune with his unique style, but never overpower the pure non amplified sound of Carmen’s voice and my upright bass.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eGuitarist Folker Tettero (also featured on Tettero plays Eddie Harris and Les McCann at NativeDSD Music) decided to play the whole session on his old archtop guitar. It is quite unique that you can hear the pure acoustic sound of the guitar blending in so well with the sound from his custom-made amplifier. Listen to Folkers comping during the bass solo in 'Where can I Go'; that’s the pure sound of his guitar and not to forget; the sound of his hands.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eAlmost all the songs are first takes. Except for 'Billie’s Blues' and 'How Long' where second takes where needed to get the balance right.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eNiels Henning Orsted Pedersen told me how Ben Webster was the only musician he knew that could play himself to tears while playing a ballad. I know one more, Carmen Gomes.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIt happened on the Little Blue album and again on this recording as she was singing the last words to Gershwin’s beautiful ballad 'Summertime'. Carmen was very apologetic and wanted to make another take, but Frans refused to press the record button. \"I’ve got goosebumps all over. And why is it a problem to shed a tear while singing; ……‘don’t you cry’... !?\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarmen Gomes Inc.\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nCarmen Gomes – Vocals\r\nFolker

Liaison has embarked upon a series of live Jazz recordings that are tributes to some of popular music’s greatest artists and songs. This has included albums highlighting the music of The Beatles, Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong, and Eddie Harris and Les McCann. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir latest album in this series is Free: Soulful Piano Reflections by the Witmer Trio.  It’s a mellow, jazzy take on a full album worth of Soul classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s.  The tracks include Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers), That’s The Way of the World (Earth, Wind \u0026amp; Fire), When A Man Loves A Woman (Percy Sledge), What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye), Feel Like Makin’ Love (Roberta Flack), The Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding), Roof Garden (Al Jarreau), Let’s Stay Together (Al Green), Knock On Wood (Eddie Floyd), and Fire (Pointer Sisters).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The great conductor Sergiu Celibidache insisted that tempo and dynamic markings were relative, they depended on the sound of the hall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreating this recording was all about carefully adapting the equipment to the hall, the musicians and the compositions. The close collaboration between artists, sound engineer and producer has culminated in a download that pays homage to the artistry of high resolution recordings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCajan Witmer is a sublime arranger. His first album for Sound Liaison, the critically acclaimed 'En Azul', show his awareness of the particular strengths and characteristics of the musicians he works with. Cajan uses this knowledge to compose arrangements that capitalise on the qualities of his musicians to the maximum benefit of the music. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut this time around he goes even a step further. Cajan explains; \"I love the sound of MCO’s Studio 2 and the sound that recording engineer Frans de Rond creates in that hall. So when arranging the songs for this album, I tried to hear in my mind not only the sound of the trio but also how that sound would interact with the hall. It was initially a new way of thinking, but actually surprisingly easy once I got used to the idea. After all, I know how Maarten will sound when playing a certain groove, and how that will blend with Han’s bass line. Now all I had to do was to envision that sound in the hall of Studio 2. Vera turned out to be a perfect choice. She understood the sound I was after and she knew the sound of Studio 2 having recorded and rehearsed there on numerous occasions. Her sound fitted perfectly with the trio, and her musical suggestions were incredibly helpful.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen creating the sound stage, Frans spent a great deal of time getting the balance of the Witmer Trio as optimal as possible using the ambient microphone stereo pair placed in the ''sweet spot'' in Studio 2, before adding the spot microphones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe wanted to create a sound field that was intimate but also had enough depth to reflect a visual representation of the instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a sense we adopted the same philosophy as Cajan Witmer in his arrangements as we wanted the melodic part of each instrument to stand out without overshadowing the whole. Thus the piano and the drums have been given a position in the sound field, instead of the more common, radio friendly approach, with the instruments piled on top of each other with no placement. The benefit of this approach is that you can actually see the trio in front of you between the speakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a sense we are old fashioned, maybe we listened to too many old jazz recordings, but on the other hand.......this is what we believe a high-resolution recording should be about.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-- Frans De Rond \u0026amp; Peter Bjørnild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739276915012,"sku":"SL1031A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739276947780,"sku":"SL1031A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739276980548,"sku":"SL1031A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739277013316,"sku":"SL1031A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739277046084,"sku":"SL1031A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310447960388,"sku":"SL1031A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1031A-1-1.jpg?v=1790521919"},{"product_id":"sl1032a-feenbrothers-play-dave-brubeck-one-microphone-recording","title":"Feenbrothers Play Dave Brubeck (One Microphone Recording)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; max-width: 100%; height: auto; color: #333333; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/media\/uploads\/Screenshot_2019-05-29_at_10.30_.03_.png\" alt=\"DSD 512 Exclusive\" width=\"253\" height=\"65\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Microphone Recording - Tribute to the Music of Dave Brubeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound Liaison returns to NativeDSD with the latest edition of their Live Stereo DXD Recordings that feature tributes to recording stars including Harry Belafonte, The Beatles, Eddie Harris and Les McCann, Louis Armstrong and now jazz great Dave Brubeck. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recording features Brubeck classics including Blue Rondo a La Turk, Unsquare Dance, The Duke and two versions of his most famous release Take Five.

I wanted to create a recording showing that the vibes can have a big warm sound and that it is possible to play 'beautiful music' on the instrument. The vibes is an instrument which lends itself for virtuoso music. Examples enough, Lionel Hampton, Terry Gibbs...but how about the melancholy side of the instrument, has that ever been fully explored?\r\n\r\nA chamber ensemble seemed to me to be the best setting for realizing the sound I had in mind. I contacted master pianist Rob van Kreeveld and long time friend and superb bassist Edwin Corzilius to help me with the project. It turned out to be a dream team. The music came to us so easily. The ballads and waltzes turned out exactly as how I had pictured it; warm and relaxed, keeping the song central.\r\n\r\nAs a musician one always has wishes. One hopes to get to play in certain places, or play with one’s musical heroes... I have been most fortunate in my career, as many of the things I wished for when I was young, actually did happen. And now this new \"mature\" wish has been made possible by Peter Bjørnild and Frans de Rond, two producers with an incredible big heart for music and sound.\r\n\r\nThank you Rob, Edwin, Peter and Frans, I am so very happy with the result, I believe we have created some beautiful music.\"\r\n\r\n-- Frits Landesbergen, Vibraphonist\r\n\r\n\"When creating the sound stage, Frans spent a great deal of time getting the balance of the REF Trio as optimal as possible using the ambient microphone stereo pair placed in the 'sweet spot' in Studio 2, before adding the spot microphones.

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! Nothing basic about that.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinier Voet - Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarin van Kooten - Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJan Brouwer - Rhythm Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJet Stevens- Double Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DLLabPCm3pI","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297395012,"sku":"SL1035A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297427780,"sku":"SL1035A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297460548,"sku":"SL1035A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297493316,"sku":"SL1035A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297526084,"sku":"SL1035A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739297558852,"sku":"SL1035A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310464016708,"sku":"SL1035A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1035A-2.jpg?v=1790525987"},{"product_id":"sl1036a-the-visual-sound-sound-liaison-jazz-music-sampler","title":"The Visual Sound: Sound Liaison Jazz Music Sampler","description":"The Visual Sound - The Sound Liaison Jazz Sampler features tracks from 10 of the label's top Jazz recordings, made live with a studio audience.  All 10 albums are also available at the NativeDSD Music store and are recommended if you want to take your DSD or DXD Jazz collection to the next level.\r\n\r\nWith our new sampler recording engineer Frans de Rond is proving once again that his knowledge of microphone placement and use of equipment is in a class of his own.

Another advantage is that it forces the band being recorded to really play. There is nowhere to hide, no fixing it in the mix. Sound Liaison works to make the complete sound stage on the spot by carefully moving each instrument closer or further away as well as left and right in relation to the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this album, Sound Liaison used the Josephson C700S microphone to record the complete trio. They also placed support microphones in the piano and on the bass (DPA 4099). These microphones were added to add a little bit of support (-20dB or less) to these two instruments when Marzio’s use of guitar effects would cover up the attack of the piano and bass. So the recording is basically a 'One Microphone Recording' or you could call it a 'One Mic +'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was recorded in Stereo DXD by Sound Liaison.  Stereo DSD editions of the album were created from the Stereo DXD master by Tom Caulfield at the NativeDSD Mastering Lab using the Merging Technologies \"MICO\" modulators (DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64) and the Signalyst HQ Player 4 Professional \"EC\" modulators (DSD 512) for your musical enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332587844,"sku":"SL1037A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332620612,"sku":"SL1037A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332653380,"sku":"SL1037A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332686148,"sku":"SL1037A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332718916,"sku":"SL1037A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739332751684,"sku":"SL1037A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310501241156,"sku":"SL1037A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1037A-1-1.jpg?v=1790531646"},{"product_id":"sl1038a-braskiri-live-at-mco-one-microphone-recording","title":"Braskiri: Live at MCO (One Microphone Recording)","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBraskiri Live at MCO marks the return of drummer Wim Kegel to the NativeDSD Music store with his 4th DSD release.

It’s a round, dark and full sound, with a singing quality. It's almost like a symphony orchestra hidden inside the piano, able to produce as many musical colors as possible. The danger with the piano is that if you don’t take care of your touch, it can sound very harsh and mechanical while with the right touch, dynamics, and intention you can make a simple triad sound like an orchestra. I am still working on my sound daily.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWhen I played with Toots Thielemans I was surprised that he almost insisted I would use a keyboard in combination with the piano in order to create an Orchestral sound on stage which he loved so much.  I started investigating how to make the sound of an electronic keyboard blend with the acoustic sound of the piano and on that first tour with Toots I realized that combining the keyboard with the piano brought a new dimension to my playing. With one hand on each instrument, the 'piano orchestral sound' I was hearing in my head started to come alive.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThis preoccupation with sound has to do with my dad being an opera singer and thus having a strong 'Classical' background. As a child, I was allowed to be playing quietly with my Lego pieces in the Music room while my dad was tutoring his vocal students. And in another part of the house, my mother was playing Frank Sinatra's Capitol albums all day long.

The album's title is an ode to the mystical light that is a phenomenon in Scandinavian nature.\r\n\r\nMargriet Sjoerdsma always wanted to make an album with pianist Jeroen van Vliet. And she wanted deep brass on the album and three strings. And so, the Odelion Orchestra was filled with the Westside String Trio - Jeroen van Vliet, Vera van der Bie, and Isabella Petersen - with violin, viola, and cello. The brass group that rounds out the Odelion Orchestra with horn, trombone and bass trombone provides a balanced sound and sufficient bass lines. Sjoerdsma describes the album itself as a song cycle of Folk, Jazz, and Pop, dressed in a chamber music jacket.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eOn Northern Lights, we have created a sound field that is intimate but also with enough depth to have a visual representation of the instruments. The idea is to let the melodic part of each instrument stand out yet never overshadow the whole. The benefit of this approach is that you can visualize the ensemble in front of you; trombones and French horn left, voice in the middle with the piano placed slightly further to the back and the strings to the right. This is not the commercial radio friendly approach, with the instruments piled on top of each other straight down the middle.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIn a sense we are old fashioned, maybe we listened to too many old jazz recordings, but on the other hand as the great Louis Armstrong said; \"The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the backyard on a hot night or something said long ago\".\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n-- Frans de Rond \u0026amp; Peter Bjørnild, Sound Liaison\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMargriet Sjoerdsma - Vocals, Compositions, Arrangements \u0026amp; Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJeroen van Vliet - Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVera van der Bie - Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsabella Petersen - Viola\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnnie Tangberg - Cello\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLouk Boudesteijn - Trombone\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePablo Martinez - Bass Trombone\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRomain Bly - French Horn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EPwgrun7MIM[\/embed]","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425812804,"sku":"SL1042A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425845572,"sku":"SL1042A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425878340,"sku":"SL1042A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425911108,"sku":"SL1042A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425943876,"sku":"SL1042A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739425976644,"sku":"SL1042A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57311057707332,"sku":"SL1042A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1042A_c6120579-1304-4ba7-9373-f01d1b9d46a9.jpg?v=1790095383"},{"product_id":"sl1043a-up-jumped-the-devil","title":"Up Jumped The Devil","description":"\u003cspan style=\"color: #008000;\"\u003eThis album purchase comes with\u003cstrong\u003e an exclusive video of Carmen Gomes Inc. recording the track 'How Long'\u003c\/strong\u003e (from the album \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/catalogue\/nativedsd-selections\/album-of-the-year-2019\/sl1030a-dont-you-cry\/\"\u003eDon't You Cry\u003c\/a\u003e) in the studio.\r\n\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUp Jumped The Devil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a new Stereo DXD recording from \u003cstrong\u003eCarmen Gomes Inc.\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring the music of blues great Robert Johnson.  It has already earned rave reviews and a perfect 5 Star rating from listeners and reviewers. By framing each of Robert Johnson’s songs with small instrumental miniatures, Carmen Gomes Inc. have created an album that sounds like an imaginary road movie.\r\n\r\nThe album uses two Josephson C700A microphones (vocal and bass) added to the central Josephson C700S as well as an ambient spaced pair of Josephson C617 microphones up high as the main source of ambience. The benefit sound wise, compared to a pure One Microphone Recording, is the sound of Carmen’s voice and the double bass will not suffer when the band at certain moments raises the dynamic level.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eListening to this album, one perceives Robert walking late at night, en route in the Mississippi Delta, reflecting on his life. The low A, 27.5 Hz, from the bowed down tuned double bass representing the Mississippi night, the drums creating the sounds surrounding the night and the guitar being Robert’s mind.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eMore than playing parts, guitarist Folker Tettero and drummer Bert Kamsteeg are playing moods. I asked Bert to play the lyrics instead of the drums, a task I knew especially he would be able to fulfil. Throughout the album Folker is in constant dialogue with Carmen's melody line, sometimes edging her on and at other times comforting her. Folker decided to use an electric 12 string guitar on the small miniatures. The sounds he creates adds a whole new aspect to his musicianship and emphasizes his deep affinity for the blues. Carmen is at the top of her game here. Her 'never the same way twice' saxophone like phrasing showing her jazz heritage and why jazz is in such great debt to the blues. Love in Vain being a good example.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eArranging Robert Johnson's songs for Carmen Gomes Inc. was less difficult than I expected. Somehow each song was telling me instantly what to do. Even 'When You Got a Good Friend', with its J.S. Bach inspired counterpoint or 'Love In Vain' where the harmony used has more to do with bebop than blues, was written very quickly. It was as if they materialized instead of having to be arranged.

It is a 2 Track Analog Recording that has been transferred to DXD and DSD by Sound Liaison.\r\n\r\nThe Kohashi-Overwater-Verploegen Trio is a Jazz group that creates a unique sound, standing on an equal footing with each other. \u003cstrong\u003eAtzko Kohashi\u003c\/strong\u003e from Japan, joins two Jazz favorites from the NativeDSD Catalog - \u003cstrong\u003eTony Overwater\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen\u003c\/strong\u003e from the Netherlands in this musical combo.  Beyond ethnicity and nationality, they seek and discover their own sound sharing a passion for music.\r\n\r\nJapanese pianist Atzko Kohashi had something special in mind when she invited Dutch bass player Tony Overwater to join her for a musical encounter. She longed to create a unique unit of bass harmony and melody with each voice being equal and contributing selflessly to the music. Her vision is connected to Japanese Zen aesthetics that generate simplicity and spontaneity. With trumpet player Angelo Verploegen they found their match – a soloist who can blend in, shine, and support the music all at the same time.\r\n\r\nOn a cold winter day, they met in an empty church in Amsterdam and started playing. For hours. Instantly the delicate sound of these three instruments blended into gentle and generous music that warmed their hearts.\r\n\r\nA few months later, they recorded their debut album \u003cem\u003eVirgo\u003c\/em\u003e in the only way possible for such collaboration. In a beautiful radio studio from the 1930’s, with a great sounding Steinway, only a few microphones but of the utmost quality and recorded directly to a 2 Track Analog Tape Recorder before a live audience. The three instruments blended into one sound, telling a story together.\r\n\r\nVirgo originally appeared on the Jazz In Motion label as a Stereo CD. It is now available on the Sound Liaison label at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and DXD.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlbum Producer Peter Bjornild says \u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVirgo by the Kohashi-Overwater-Verplogen Trio is the first release in a new series of albums licensed from Rhapsody Audiophile Recordings (RAR). RAR is an initiative of audiophile audio guru Harry van Dalen, producer, and high-end tuning expert Michael van Polen and Prix Europa awarded recording engineer and Frans de Rond. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eRAR records direct to a 2 track Studer A80 tape recorder. Using a completely analog signal chain, RAR generates an organic, natural sound with a visible sound stage. Harry and Michel also run the Rhapsody high end music shop in Hilversum, the Netherlands. Since 1988 Rhapsody has been the expert in high-end residential audio reproduction systems. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eSpecialized in tuning, Harry and Michael are known to be able to combine different audio components resulting in top sets exceeding all expectations. Prior to release, most Sound Liaison recordings are given a last test drive at the shop as Harry’s and Michael’s critical ears and constructive feedback continues to be of great importance to our mastering process. So, it is with great pride and joy that I welcome Rhapsody Audiophile Recordings to the Sound Liaison Label.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAtzko Kohashi adds\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\"Looking up at the night sky, we can see the Virgo constellation lies in the southern direction. Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the Zodiac and the Goddess of Innocence and Purity in Greek mythology. The word 'Virgo' means virgin in Latin and the Virgo symbol is designed to depict Virgin - innocence and purity. Innocence and purity are also important elements for Japanese aesthetics, which generate simplicity and freshness. You see it in many classic Japanese art forms such as choreography, ink brush paintings, Ikebana (art of flower arrangement), Sado (tea ceremony), Noh (the oldest Japanese theatrical art), etc. Innocence and purity also encourage artists’ creativity and spontaneity. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eHere is a well-known quote by Zeami (1363-1443), a Japanese Noh actor, playwright, poet, and aesthetician, in his treatise for the sake of art Kakyo (A Mirror of the Flower). \"Never forget Shoshin.” Shoshin (初心) is a word from Zen Buddhism meaning 'beginner’s mind' which refers to the initial feelings or impression at the first step. Zeami suggests that one must approach life with a beginner’s mind, with an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eI think Shoshin is connected to innocence and original purity of mind. Zeami’s wisdom applies to any type of art form in the current era, of course to jazz as well. I understand this quote to mean \"Never lose your initial enthusiasm. Keep your mind open just like a beginner and renew yourself.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eAnd here we are. For this album we have played our longtime favorite songs composed by our beloved predecessors whom we adore and have respect for. You can also hear our original songs that are deeply rooted in jazz spirit. And what is more, just like the old times, we have recorded the album on analog, which is the purest way for the recording to capture the moment. Throughout this live recording (with audience) we were forced to venture into playing no matter what happened. One shot deal. No more takes, no editing – very pure and honest, with so much presence. We hope you can enjoy our musical world view.”\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKohashi-Overwater-Verplogen Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nAtzko Kohashi - Piano\r\nTony Overwater - Double Bass\r\nAngelo Verploegen - Flugelhorn\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;

It is their second album at Native DSD Music, following their earlier release This Bird Has Flown - The Music of Lennon and McCartney with Ed Verhoeff and Peter Tiehuis.\r\n\r\nOn Amulet, Berner and Moore selected a number of their favorite songs plus a few original compositions. They brought them to the studio where they were recorded in Stereo DXD with just One Microphone - a Josephson Engineering C700S using the Horus Analog to Digital Converter from Merging Technologies.\r\n\r\nChemistry between musicians is a magical thing. Michael Moore and Paul Berner have that kind of magic. When they play, the music seems to flow in a natural unhindered stream, each note being an obvious continuation of what was played before. It was a thrill to be in the producer's seat at this session, witnessing these two masters going about their craft. How they would feed each other and pass the ball at just the right moment. Observing how they would shape a song into a whole by polishing, simplifying, or embellishing where needed, yet all the time being aware of the freshness and immediacy of creating in the moment.\r\n\r\nThe album starts out with \u003cem\u003eI Never Knew\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e written by Gus Kahn and Ted FioRito in 1925, ends with \u003cem\u003eYou’ll Never Walk Alone\u003c\/em\u003e from 1945 and along the way includes \u003cem\u003eNight Ride Home\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e,\u003c\/b\u003e a late 1980’s Joni Mitchell song, as well as \u003cem\u003eEmptier \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eAmulet,\u003c\/em\u003e two recently composed Michael Moore originals.

This recording is a dialogue between Paul and myself - we collected a number of our favorite  songs and a few originals with the only concept being we wanted to play them simply. Actually I have been wanting to do something like this since I heard the great New Orleans clarinetist Louis Cottrell’s Riverside recording 'Bourbon Street'. That recording is pure joy! There’s several recordings of saxophone\/bass duets and trios with drums, such as Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard, but clarinet\/bass duos in jazz seem to be very rare. I’d especially like to thank Frans de Rond and Peter Bjørnild - they were a joy to work with. The simplicity of just one microphone in front of us and the relaxed atmosphere in the studio, helped create this very close intimate recording, so perfect for this music.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"I’ve loved Micheal’s unique voice, especially on clarinet, since I first heard him.

Somehow these songs also came to represent a significant memory of a person or an event in my life.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe Tettero Band goes way back. We played many nights in the legendary Jazz Café Alto at the start of this century: exhausting 5 hour long sets that gave us the opportunity to really play and develop our sound both as individuals and as a group. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn those nights we would mix our sets with prearranged music as well as with completely open jams. It could be a drum or bass groove getting the music going or Charlie or I would play a set of changes and we would all jump on it.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eSlowly but surely the jam parts started to invade our rehearsed repertoire and we came to realize that by mixing up freedom and structure within an arrangement it was possible to get the best of both worlds. Furthermore, we saw that the Saturday night crowd, which could be hard to please, responded to the new direction the music was taking with enthusiasm. So when the crux of this recording started to take shape in my mind, freedom within structure became the adage. I got hold of the members of the Tettero band, asked Peter Bjørnild to produce and Frans de Rond to record.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eListening to the recording as I am writing these words, I realize that this album is probably the most personal album I have made so far. It is puzzling to me since all the songs are standards and not my own originals. But that’s music, it never ceases to astonish. It has been a most fulfilling experience making this album together with a group of people I really trust on a professional level and furthermore really like a lot on a personal level.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eI am very proud of the result and am so very grateful to everyone involved in making this new Tettero album.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolker Tettero - Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharly Zastrau - Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDave Breidenbach - Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKlaas van Donkersgoed - Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4fYz04YIdqo\r\n\r\n ","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739545874756,"sku":"SL1051A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739545907524,"sku":"SL1051A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739545940292,"sku":"SL1051A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739545973060,"sku":"SL1051A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739546005828,"sku":"SL1051A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739546038596,"sku":"SL1051A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57338855719236,"sku":"SL1051A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1051A.jpg?v=1778485469"},{"product_id":"sl1052a-ray","title":"Ray!","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2022 NativeDSD Album of the Year - Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nWe are very excited to release \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRay!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e from one of Native DSD Music’s most popular vocalists \u003cstrong\u003eCarmen Gomes\u003c\/strong\u003e and her \u003cstrong\u003eCarmen Gomes Inc.\u003c\/strong\u003e band from Sound Liaison.

Hence the album name \"\u003cem\u003eThe Maene Sessions\u003c\/em\u003e\".\r\n\r\nIn 2013 Daniel Barenboim commissioned Chris Maene to build a perfect parallel-strung concert grand piano. A piano that would reconcile the unique characteristic sonorous richness of the historical piano with the volume, clarity, power and playing comfort of the best modern concert piano. A piano with different sonorous properties, aiming to offer a valid artistic alternative to existing concert grands.\r\n\r\nChris Maene and his team went to work and after extensive experiments they built the first Chris Maene Straight Strung Concert Grand Piano.  In May 2015 Daniel Barenboim inaugurated the new straight strung grand piano with a series of Schubert recitals in Vienna, Paris and London. The sound of the unique instrument was very well received by press, audiences and musicians alike. Today 'Chris Maene Straight Strung Grand Pianos' are played all over the world by the best international concert pianists.\r\n\r\nThis album features 13 ballads performed by Rob van Bavel and his trio. The songs include Body and Soul, In A Sentimental Mood, The Shadow Of Your Smile and several original compositions.\r\n\r\nRob van Bavel says, \u003cem\u003e\"This album is the result of what has been a most rewarding musical journey. Jazz is often associated with busy, energetic (or even neurotic) music. I have played my share of it and enjoyed it... but deep down, I really do love to play and listen to ballads. In October 2020, I played a concert with the John Engels Quintet in a beautiful little wooden church called 'De Terp' in Oudorp. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThat night I had the pleasure and honor to be the first Dutch Jazz pianist to perform on the amazing Chris Maene Straight Strung Concert Grand Piano.

No audience is present except the ghosts from the past. The music must create an Arch, going from the single-instrument performance to the more complex band performance and back to the last solo performance. The same principle goes for the engineering; each recording starts out with only one Josephson C700S 3-channel stereo microphone. As the music gains in complexity more microphones may be deployed, the only limit being the imagination and technical skills of the recording engineer. The producer and engineer must aim to make the album have a unifying sound, despite the different recording techniques employed.","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739667870020,"sku":"SL1059A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739667902788,"sku":"SL1059A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739667935556,"sku":"SL1059A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739667968324,"sku":"SL1059A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739668001092,"sku":"SL1059A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739668033860,"sku":"SL1059A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339155087684,"sku":"SL1059A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1059A.jpg?v=1778489253"},{"product_id":"sl1060a-crescent-music-of-john-coltrane","title":"Crescent: Music of John Coltrane","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023 NativeDSD Album of the Year Award - Jazz Duo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nPianist \u003cstrong\u003eAtzko Kohashi\u003c\/strong\u003e and Double Bass player \u003cstrong\u003eTony Overwater \u003c\/strong\u003ereturn to NativeDSD with their new album titled \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrescent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.  The album on the Sound Liaison label is their tribute to the Music of John Coltrane.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrescent is available in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64 and DXD.

And there were more to come to our mind. From a young age, we deeply admired John Coltrane and listened to his music countless times, but somehow we’d never had an opportunity to play those songs before. And now, after all those years, each song sounded so fresh and new to us. Of course, it was quite a challenge to play Coltrane's songs with just piano and bass, but when we tried, it fitted surprisingly well. There is always something new to discover.

The musicians were placed in front of a stereo pair of microphones with additional spot microphones on each instrument. The musicians were playing without headphones, the reason being that we believe that when we get the musicians to play together in the same room, with out headphones, it creates a number of musical and technical benefits.\r\n\r\nThe room where the recordings has been done is the now legendary Studio Eleven situated in the the building of the Dutch World Broadcasting Service. The Studio was used extensively in the 60's by European and visiting American jazz musicians (Wes Montgomery, Cannonball Adderley, Dexter Gordon, Eric Dolphy). The Dutch World Broadcasting Service asked Frans de Rond to bring the room back to life as a recording studio, and Frans after seeing and hearing the room jumped at the opportunity.

The result is a very charming and musically satisfying rendition of what Bach could have sounded like had he been born in Kansas City in 1920 instead of Eisenach in 1685.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e'\"He is doing what we are trying to do!\" \u003c\/em\u003eThat was Charlie Parker's comment upon hearing a recording of \u003cstrong\u003eJ.S. Bach\u003c\/strong\u003e's Organ Preludes for the first time.\r\n\r\nJ.S Bach's music has always been an inexhaustible source of joy and inspiration to the Jazz musician. No wonder that Jazz musicians feel such a strong connection to Bach's music. Bach was in his own time equally famous for his skills as a virtuoso organ player and improviser as for his compositions, compositions that often enough had begun as improvisations.\r\n\r\nThe recording took place in the legendary Studio 11, in Hilversum, The Netherlands, in front of a live audience. The presence of an audience in the studio creates a certain energy, an immediacy, a need for the musician to reach out and get the music across, in short a synergy of music, musicians, audience and recording engineer.\r\n\r\nThe musicians were placed in a half circle around a stereo pair of Schoeps MK5's. Spot microphones were placed at each instrument for emphasis. The recording is a one to one copy of the Studio Master file. No conversion of any kind has taken place.

Songs of my youth that made a lingering impression and original compositions, some written a long time ago; some only recently.

I felt myself an outsider, a bit different, maybe to a certain extent... excluded. Making up for this, I locked myself in my room and listened to music, singing along with every song. I developed a taste for artists that were more ''deep''.... Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Neil Young. There was something in their voices that touched me, some emotion that I recognized. I internalized all of Neil Young's lyrics; they made a huge impact on me and served as a heavy influence on the lyrics that I started writing myself. Billie's voice still tears me apart.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eGrowing up, I came across songs that stuck with me. Holding Back the Years and Brass in Pocket, for example. I strongly related to the lyrics. I could almost smell them. Songs about love in all it's splendor and compassion. Songs about addiction, inequality and loneliness. Songs about the eternal search for an answer. I’m a grown woman now, a mother, experienced, but still searching.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eTo sing a song I need to picture the story of the lyrics in my head; I have to feel them. If I can't feel them, I can't sing them. And how can I expect you to believe what I am singing if I don't feel it myself?

Witmer's almost vocal presentation of the melody and refined melodic improvisations, Slinger's lyrical touch and strong secure rhythmic feel combined with Kruiswijk's inventive drum patterns, which on some songs resembles three subtle percussion players instead of one drum set, are fulfilling the task admirably. Cajan Witmer and his companions, bassist Han Slinger and drummer Maarten Kruiswijk, have worked together for 21 years, and the empathy they feel for each other is evident throughout this recording.\r\n\r\nRecording Engineer Frans de Rond tells us \u003cem\u003e\"When creating the sound stage, we spent a great deal of time getting the balance of the trio as optimal as possible using the ambient microphone stereo pair placed in the ''sweet spot'' in Studio 2 at the MCO in Hilversum, Netherlands, before adding the spot microphones. We wanted to create a sound field that was intimate but also with enough depth to have a visual representation of the instruments. In a sense we adopted the same philosophy as Cajan Witmer in his arrangements, we wanted the melodic part of each instrument to stand out but not overshadow the whole, thus the piano and the drums have been given a position in the sound field, not spread out Left to Right as are more common in commercial recordings. The benefit with this approach is that you can actually see the trio in front of you between the speakers, standing left to right, instead of the more common, commercial radio-friendly approach, with the instruments piled on top of each other.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCajan Witmer - Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHan Slinger - Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaarten Kruijswijk - Drums\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=znkzOH8Zcmo[\/embed]","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934175556,"sku":"SL1017A-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934208324,"sku":"SL1017A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934241092,"sku":"SL1017A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934273860,"sku":"SL1017A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934306628,"sku":"SL1017A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934339396,"sku":"SL1017A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934372164,"sku":"SL1017A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739934404932,"sku":"SL1017A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339264991556,"sku":"SL1017A-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1017A.jpg?v=1778490839"},{"product_id":"sl1062a-alternate-realities","title":"Alternate Realities","description":"The \u003cstrong\u003eWest Side Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Electric String Trio formed by Annie Tangberg (Cello, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals), Vera van der Bie (Violin, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals) and Rani Kumar (Viola, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals).

In some ways, we are old-fashioned. We may have listened to too many old jazz recordings, but as Louis Armstrong once said, ''The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the backyard on a hot night or something said long ago.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e- Frans de Rond (Recording, Mixing and Mastering Engineer) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVera van der Bie - Violin, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnnie Tångberg - Cello, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRani Kumar - Viola, Effects \u0026amp; Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1GqQ9etfU3I[\/embed]","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017537348,"sku":"SL1062A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017570116,"sku":"SL1062A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017602884,"sku":"SL1062A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017635652,"sku":"SL1062A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017668420,"sku":"SL1062A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017701188,"sku":"SL1062A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017733956,"sku":"SL1062A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740017766724,"sku":"SL1062A-35","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339295236420,"sku":"SL1062A-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1062A.jpg?v=1790580751"},{"product_id":"sl1029a-lujon","title":"Lujon","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLujon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is pianist \u003cstrong\u003eAtzko Kohashi's\u003c\/strong\u003e 5th Stereo DSD album at NativeDSD.

The reason being that in our opinion that creates a number of musical and technical benefits. The musicians interact much more as they would do in a concert situation and as they are not 'separated' by headphones the musicians are forced to create a musical balance. The need for compression to control levels is no longer necessary.\r\n\r\nWe can use a minimalist microphone setup and thereby reduce phase problems since everybody is in the same room. The boxed sound which is so common in many modern recordings is absent. The sound of the room helps 'glue' the sound of the recording.\r\n\r\nThat sounds like an easy solution but bear in mind that in order for this to work: the studio has to have a good sound. The musicians have to be very good and well prepared as it is very difficult to repair mistakes because of the 'crosstalk' between the instruments. We have to be very precise when choosing and placing the microphones. And the puzzle of placing the musicians at the right distance to the main stereo microphone pair and at the right distance to each other is very time consuming.\r\n\r\nThis recording is made for and with lovers of high-end audio recordings. What you are getting is what we, the technicians and the musicians, has created in close collaboration. You are in other words hearing exactly what we are hearing here in the studio.\r\n\u003ch4\u003eAfter Silence is available in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256 \u0026amp; DSD 128 only at NativeDSD thanks to our signature \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff9900;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/product-tag\/higher-rate-program\/\"\u003eHigher Rates Program\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAndre Heuvelman, Trumpet\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Live!

Imagine Robert Johnson walking alone late at night in the 1930s United States of America, en route to his sad demise in Greenwood, Mississippi. As he walks, he reflects upon his life, accompanied by the sounds of the night and the echoes of his memories.\r\n\r\nThe small innovative soundscape vignettes, encompassing each song, weave a cinematic narrative to the unique road movie concept, further enhancing the emotional connection and depth of the musical experience. It's an immersive and evocative concept album showcasing the power of artistic vision and technical innovation, and a deep reverence for the timeless beauty of Robert Johnson's music.\r\n\r\nThe heart of this album is Carmen Gomes Inc.'s inspired interpretations of Johnson's immortal songs. The synergy among the band members, with Carmen's sultry voice in constant dialogue with guitarist Folker Tettero, bassist Peter Bjørnild, and drummer Bert Kamsteeg, goes beyond their instruments' traditional roles.

Every Hang is unique and has its own scale and sound quality.The Hang embodies all three important elements of music.\" \u003cem\u003e-\u003cstrong\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoshua Samson - PANArt hang \u0026amp; Percussion\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAndre Heuvelman - Trumpet \u0026amp; Flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrans de Rond - Interactive Recording \u0026amp; Electronics\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740203954500,"sku":"SL1011A-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740203987268,"sku":"SL1011A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204020036,"sku":"SL1011A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204052804,"sku":"SL1011A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204085572,"sku":"SL1011A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204118340,"sku":"SL1011A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204151108,"sku":"SL1011A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204183876,"sku":"SL1011A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57340023308612,"sku":"SL1011A-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1011A.jpg?v=1790589510"},{"product_id":"sl1019a-carrousel","title":"Carrousel","description":"On \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarrousel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLevan Tskhadadze\u003c\/strong\u003e (Clarinet) and \u003cstrong\u003eIzhar Elias\u003c\/strong\u003e (Guitar) play their instruments with an incredible transparency, refined articulation and subtle musical colors.

Each piece in this album has its own character and demands a different approach. The carrousel is chosen as symbol for this diversity.\r\n\r\nThis album, with it's wide stylistic span, yet cohesive musical end result, is proof of this musicians mastery. And thanks to the sublime sound quality, every single inflection is audible.\r\n\r\nClarinet and guitar is an instrumental combination one seldom hears. A puzzling fact considering that the clarinet's timbre can be light and intimate, therefore very well suited to the sound of the guitar.\r\n\r\nWhen Levan and Izhar played on a Dutch radio show they first heard Carrousel performed by it's Composer and Jazz Pianist \u003cstrong\u003eRembrandt Frerichs\u003c\/strong\u003e. They knew instantly that the piece would work for clarinet and guitar. Rembrandt Frerichs happily agreed to rearrange ''Carousel'' for the duo resulting in a unique intimate arrangement of his composition.\r\n\r\nArranging pieces for clarinet and guitar requires a certain outside the box way of thinking. For example lots of pieces for the clarinet are written in B flat, while A major is one of the most common tonalities for the guitar. By tuning the guitar strings up a semitone one can play pieces in B flat while still benefit the use of open strings. Rigoletto’s fantasy (track 4) and the variations on the Carnival of Venice (track 8) where played in this way, by using a different guitar.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevan Tskhadadze, \u003c\/strong\u003eClarinet\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eIzhar Elias, \u003c\/strong\u003eGuitar","brand":"Sound Liaison","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204773700,"sku":"SL1019A-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204806468,"sku":"SL1019A-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204839236,"sku":"SL1019A-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204872004,"sku":"SL1019A-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204904772,"sku":"SL1019A-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204937540,"sku":"SL1019A-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740204970308,"sku":"SL1019A-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57340023800132,"sku":"SL1019A-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SL1019A.jpg?v=1790589549"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/collections\/Sound-Liason_weblogo.png?v=1789307159","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/collections\/sound-liaison.oembed","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
