Night Suite is a specially priced DSD EP that is part of the album “New American Symphonies”. It is available at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD and DXD plus as a 7.1.4 Channel Immersive Audio experience in 32 Bit DXD in Dolby Atmos TrueHD and 12 Channel Discrete Immersive Audio. 

Scott Ninmer’s piece Night Suite was composed for Jim Pugh in June of 2014 for a performance at the Eastman School. The work opens with Eventide, which moves from a relaxed swing to a suggestion of hip hop. Gliding Through Darkness calls upon woodwind doubles, supporting Jim’s easy improvisations. Too Late, the final movement gives us Jim’s commanding effortless high register mastery, while the ensemble builds a big climax.

Altogether, this is an admirable DSD EP featuring a master soloist accompanied by absolutely first-rate partners.
