The Audio Beat 2011 Recording Of The Year! Michael Fremer Rated 10/10 Music, 10/10 Sonics in his February 2011 reviews on www.musicangle.com! Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
The Complete Art Pepper at Ronnie Scott's Club London - June 1980. Includes 17 performances that were previously unavailable along with ALL the tracks on the Mole Jazz Albums: Blues For The Fisherman and True Blues.
This recording was made using multi-microphones in a straight stereo mix without any noise reduction system, limiting, compression or equalization on either the location or on the transfer of the master tapes to the laquers from which the final pressings are made. Mastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
"The live recording quality is superb (though as with any live recording there are occasional glitches): intimate and closely miked, it presents a small club front row perspective thats long on power, timbral accuracy and dynamics and short on room ambience.... The Pallas pressing quality is high, the packaging, including a cloth textured box first class and the annotation, complete." - Michael Fremer, www.musicangle.com, Music 10/10, Sound 10/10
"High points abound. While the music gathers momentum from side one to side fourteen, it's possible to begin listening anywhere and be captivated... The stereo recording was done with multiple microphones and without any noise reduction, limiting, compression or equalization. This purity of approach shows in the product, which displays an up-close perspective, evenhanded tonality and wide dynamic range." - Marc Mickelson, www.theaudiobeat.com, 4.5/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sound!!!
