Audiophile Masters Volume IX

A thoughtful variety of genres

Audiophile Masters Volume IX captures a variety of styles from classical guitar, to bluegrass, and americana to jazz. The range of genres brings a natural array of dynamics and depth. Featuring the classic While My Guitar Gently Weeps performed by guitarist Alexios Anest, The Haunt with sound of honey vocals of Monica Marie LaBonte, and the introspective Solitary Cottonwood by Joe D'Esposito, this is a collection you'll want to play again and again. Recorded in Pure DSD, Audiophile Masters Volume IX is available on SACD and download.

Audiophile Masters Volume IX

This reference-style album starts off beautiful and familiar with Alexios Anest's version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps and is bookended with his rendition of Francisco Tárrega's Capricho Árabe. The light and airy vocals of Kyle Donovan comfortably move us forward with his original composition Jupiter. Octave fan favorite, Seth Lewis Quintet, gives us two great jazz tracks Cagey and Sweet Leaf. These tracks include Octave artists Gabriel Mervine and Tom Amend. Deal Me In gives us a familiar sound from another Octave favorite, Bonnie & Taylor Sims of Everybody Loves an Outlaw. Michael Wooten & Billy Hoke give us an audiophile treat with their drum duo The Big Groove. This is an audiophile reference album that belongs in every good music collection.
