Jesse Sharps – Sharps And Flats (Vinil 140g, LP)

Jazz saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Sharps’ „Sharps & Flats” from 1986 was only available as a CD for decades; here, finally, the track can be enjoyed as an LP in audiophile quality. The album is one of producer Tom Albach’s last studio recordings for his „Nimbus” label and is hailed by connoisseurs as his best.

Cut directly from the 1/2″ master tapes, it managed an absolutely detailed and convincing presentation (unlike the CD, which is based on a weak DAT transfer). This is the first and perhaps only opportunity to hear the album and the spirit of the interplay in its original power.

Recorded at „Mad Hatter Studios” in Los Angeles, April 21, 1986.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
