True Audiophile Volume 1 is Groove Note’s first audiophile ‘Best Of’ collection. It features a delectable selection of some of their best sounding and most popular super audiophile cuts including Jacintha’s “Danny Boy”, Eden Atwood’s “Meditation,” Roy Gaines’ “Stormy Monday” and Anthony Wilson’s “She’s So Heavy”.
The album highlights include: The intimate, delicate, sweet, and tender voice of Jacintha; vocalist Roy Gaines, the greatest living blues guitarist that you don’t know anything about, a sizzling blues guitarist with one of the most magnificent blues voices around; Eden Atwood, who has a voice that is many things – seductive, plaintive, sensitive, gifted with perfect intonation and phrasing, and entertaining. With a sensual and seductive voice right out of the ’40s or ’50s, Luqman Hamza (pronounced Luke-mahn Hahm-za) is a real discovery;
Turning to the instrumental side of things Groove Note has Anthony Wilson, known best as the Guitarist for Diana Krall, he is one of the most talented musicians working in the US jazz scene today. Bill Cunliffe is a leading West Coast Jazz pianist and arranger with several albums to his credit. Rounding out this already impressive list is tenor saxophonist extraordinaire Bennie Wallace!
