Haunted Heart: The Legendary Riverside Studio Recordings [UHQCD]Bill Evans TrioGood editionThe master on this reissue is noticeably different from the original vinyl and first CD, but still with the original character of sound. Great edition for completionists since it comes with all the alternate takes, also great material for those who study Mr. Evans playing, the alternate takes let you compare directly with the chosen versions for official release, and have a closer look at the approach Evans had to improvising the same solo with different expression or nuances, see how he developed his style in these early stages. Comes with a couple interesting add-ons, liner notes and something that looks like a small poster, not a fan of paper sleeve packaging because of the cd scratching but still can be handled with care.

Super Nova (RVG Remaster) [UHQCD]Wayne ShorterOne of the greatest jazz albums I knowThis album might be an important material when talking about the history of Jazz/Fusion. It’s by turns intoxicating and disorienting. It’s a ferocious album from an extraordinary group of musicians, deployed in a most unusual way.

Sir. [UHQCD]David Matthews, Eddie Gomez & Steve GaddThis is a very sweet jazz trio sessionA terrific recording of nice, softly swinging standards and a few other things. Steve Gadd is a great brush player and plays them on almost all of this recording. Eddie Gomez plays like you'd expect, awesome. With the background these gentlemen have in so many different kinds of music, it seems like they are relaxing and enjoying each other's playing.

Dreams / Answers [Hi-Res CD (MQA x UHQCD)] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Rare EarthSo clear, so dynamic, so audible!Unpackably great music, at that time already fallen out of time and not attributed to any epoch. Accordingly, this is not aged here either, it sounds just as fresh and modern as it was then and although one should not make the current music makers too bad: no one can deliver such a quality today. Every song is full of power, wit and melody, with ingenious virtuosity and then this sound...

Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited [UHQCD]Tedeschi Trucks Band & Leon RussellDerek Trucks rocksThis album is the second time Tedeschi Trucks revisit a classic oldie in a live performance (Layla being the first one).The horns and piano take center stage with the UHQCD format, but despite all the special guests and awesome song selection its Derek Truck that steals the show. Minimalist at times and over the top at others. real virtuoso work. 10/10 album

Special Edition - J.J.Cale Best [Hi-Res CD (MQA x UHQCD)] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Limited Release]J.J.CaleAlmost 3D soundJJ Cale's catalog speaks for itself, and this selection is a great representation of his incredible talent. No wonder Eric Clapton has borrowed so much of his music. The album is elegant and full of nuances that come across with an almost 3D quality. The UHQCD format is incredible, sometimes sounding as good as SACD
