Audiophile Masters Volume V

Octave Records mission is two
fold: support musicians and their music and push forward the state of
the recording arts. Audiophile Masters V does both beautifully. If
you've not yet had a chance to experience the energy and musicality of
original music from Briana Harris, you're in for a treat. Briana's
quintet mixes hard-bop roots with chamber jazz touches producing music
that always leaves room for the unexpected. One of our favorite bands is
Foxfeather featuring the amazing Carly Ricks Smith on lead vocals. Have
a listen to The Nature of Things to hear what we believe is
some of the finest original music coming out today.
Zuill Bailey's rare combination of celebrated artistry, technical
wizardry, and engaging personality has secured his place as one of the
most sought after and active cellists today. A consummate concerto
soloist, Mr. Bailey has appeared at Disney Hall, the Kennedy Center, the
United Nations, Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and
the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In his storied career, he has
collaborated with such conductors as Itzhak Perlman, Alan Gilbert,
Andrew Litton, Neeme Jarvi, Giancarlo Guerrero, James DePriest, Jun
Markl, Carlos Kalmar, Andrey Boreyko, Krzysztof Urbanski, Jacques
Lacombe, Grant Llewellyn, and Stanislav Skrowaczewski. What more needs
to be written?
Audiophile Masters V is packed full of fresh talent. From the up and
coming singer Zoe Berman, seasoned road warriors Taylor Sims & Kyle
Donovan, to Colin Kelly's soul-wrenching ballad Diana from the band Augustus, this collection of Octave Masters is a must-have.
