A luminous recording of eclectic and distinctive chamber jazz from a master of the genre.
– Mark Werlin
The Stereo & 5 Channel Surround Sound DSD album from Wayne Horvitz‘s sideline acoustic project Sweeter Than The Day, released in 2002, expresses the reflective side of pianist Horvitz’s temperament. Bittersweet, melodically distinctive Chamber Jazz, an evocative combination of Swing, Bop and Blues, It is his second album at NativeDSD, following Way Out East.
West Coast cool and the occasional edge of free jazz, with echoes of French impressionism and other classical piano music and popular music of the 1950s and 1960s.
The album is exclusively available in Pure DSD Stereo & 5 Channel Surround Sound DSD 256 and DSD 128 plus Stereo DSD 512 from NativeDSD.

Press reviews
Sound & Vision
Tucker Martine puts guitar at left, piano at right, and the rhythm section across the front for a vivid sound.
Audiophile Audition
Horvitz skirts loft Jazz atonality on some tracks but most of them are quite accessible and highly original music-making.
Subtle use of the Surround Sound Channels contribute only to a more natural presence of the instruments in front of you.
Downbeat
Summons up forlorn images of a lost heartland. Every note seems to carry meaning and purpose.
Voir.Ca
Delicious Chamber Jazz. Performed by a well-balanced quartet offering dexterity without neglecting mystery.
