Jazz Classics: 1950s

<b>Recreated 1950s Classics</b>

Audiophiles seem to always be chasing after the best jazz recordings they can find and we don't often find them recorded in DSD256 through all vacuum tube Manley preamps with large capsule Neuman and Geffel condenser microphones. We decided to take matters into our own hands here at Octave Records 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 high-quality DSD 256. 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.
