Soul Eyes is the 8th album at NativeDSD featuring pianist Atzko Kohashi. The Stereo DXD recording was analog mixed and mastered through a high quality Analog Stereo chain to a Stereo PCM 768kHz Edit Master.

"The songs featured in this album are my longtime favorites. Just as children learn language by listening to adults speak, I have been repeatedly listening to many albums played by great jazz masters since I was a teenager, memorizing their phrases, trying them out, and nourishing myself with their music. The more I listen and the more I play, the more I realize that the great predecessors are just as distant and unreachable as the stars in the sky. Nevertheless, just as we never tire of looking at the beautiful starry sky, the joy of jazz is never-ending.

The title song, Soul Eyes (composed by Mal Waldron), is one of the songs in the repertoire of Steve Kuhn, a pianist who I admire and respect. I fell in love with this piece after listening to his interpretation. I imagine that when Steve Kuhn was in John Coltrane's group, he must have played this song with Coltrane. I believe that the beautiful melodies of jazz - like traditional folk tales - have been passed down from generation to generation. I am happy to be one of those storytellers.

A heartfelt thanks to Frans de Rond and Peter Bjørnild at Sound Liaison for making this special recording." 

Atzko Kohashi, Pianist

Reviews

Audiophile Style

Chris Connacker

There’s something about this album that causes me forget I’m listening to a piano or even music. I just listen to sounds that wash over me and transport me to another place. It’s likely a combination of the artist, playing technique, compositions, recording technique, and care taken by all involved, at every step of the process, to give listeners a wonderful experience.

Compared to other Sound Liaison albums, Soul Eyes features a touch more of the recording environment surrounding Kohashi’s piano. It sounds absolutely beautiful.

The best things in life aren’t always free, or available through a streaming service that devalues music. How quaint, paying for music that we can listen to hundreds of times, in perpetuity, and supporting those who create it. I write that sentence half-joking, as the audiophiles in the crowd are well aware of the benefits of purchasing music made with the utmost care.
