I hope they intend to release a plain vanilla CD version, as I have no intention of forking out the £80 currently quoted on Amazon for the disc with all the high tech gimmickry!
Looks as though I may be forced into download territory (I still prefer to rip the physical disc - old fashioned I know!).
but the white beatles album remaster was specially done on hirez and lp. So it should normally sound better vs the 16/44 download.
However 120 euros is expensive…
I agree, the White Album Hi Res sounds very good, just not worth the ridiculous amount of money being asked. The original CD played in my Naim system sounds superb. This is a classic example of the Law of Diminishing Returns. I’m not saying ‘don’t buy’, simply that I won’t buy at that price.
Avishai Cohen and Yonathan Avishai to release a duo album
Trumpeter Avishai Cohen and pianist Yonathan Avishai have played together for several years in Cohen’s quartet. Now they will release a duo album together.
Avishai Cohen and Yonathan Avishai have known each other for more than 20 years, meaning more than half of their lives. They began exploring jazz music together in Tel Aviv in their teens. More recently Yonathan Avishai has been a part of Cohen’s quartet for several years and he has recorded on Cohen’s ECM albums Into the Silence (2016) and Cross My Palm with Silver (2017) where they played all new original material. Following these releases, the quartet has toured extensively through the world.
This year Yonathan Avishai also released a trio album on ECM, Joys and Solitude (2019) where he played mostly original compositions but also a wonderful trio version of Duke Ellington’s “Mood Indigo”. Today he is based in Paris, France, while Avishai Cohen lives in New York.
In September the two will release their first duo album on ECM called Playing the Room . It features new compositions by the two along with some jazz classics like Milt Jackson’s “Ralph’s New Blues”.
Following the release, the two will tour as a duo in cities in Italy, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, sometimes as a package tour including other musicians celebrating that ECM turns 50 years.A
There’s a new Loma album in the works. Most of it has been recorded, some songs sent to Eno for his contributions (hopefully). If they’re as good as the first album it’ll be a treat.
Meanwhile here’s them live - it’s rare that the lead singer finishes the set by going for a swim (to the sound of an ace keyboard solo)…
Maybe I’ll get the vinyl this time? Honestly I’m happy to hear these remixes on my ND555. Probably not buying vinyl unless the printed matter is different for vinyl vs. cd
The book doesn’t come with the vinyl unfortunately, so it depends how important that is to you?
For me, the books have complemented the releases very well and this one will contain around 80 unpublished Linda McCartney photos from the sessions.
This is something I find rather annoying. Why not include the book with the vinyl, unless it’s a cunning ploy to try to get you to order both the vinyl and the CD box sets.
