Jazz Classics: 1950s

Octave Records decided to take matters into their own hands and recreate some of the jazz classics that are well-known and well-loved across time. Jazz Classics: 1950s kicks off our mission of recording some of our favorite jazz compositions in Pure DSD 256 with the Tom Amend Quintet. Recorded at Octave Studios by Paul McGowan, this is his finest recording to date. Octave's collection of music captures some of the best of the 1950s. With thoughtful arrangements by Tom Amend, vocals by Louisa Amend, and beautiful execution by some of Denver’s finest musicians in the jazz scene, Jazz Classics: 1950s takes us back in time to some of our favorite classic standards. Including tracks like You Go To My Head, made famous by Billie Holiday, the well-known Take 5 by Dave Brubeck Quartet, Ella Fitzgerald’s Sweetest Sounds and Lazy Bird by John Coltrane, this album breathes new life into old classics. Recorded in stunning Pure DSD 256 Stereo, these recordings showcase clarity, space and soundstage that will shine on any good audiophile system.
