The ‘Live Heroes’ are even more hands-on than in the studio. The playfulness and improvisational desire of all players are always breathtaking, as a counterpoint there are just as many quiet and soulful moments, so that the music reflects a perfect balance of the original performances.

The original Jazz At The Pawnshop album, recorded in 1976, has been regarded as “The Best Jazz Recording of the Century!” (also available at NativeDSD along with Jazz At The Pawnshop Volumes 2 and 3).

Anyone who owns Jazz At The Pawnshop will not be able to resist this album and experiencing the enduring spirit of an incredible musical evening. It’s called Jazz At The Pawnshop – Late Night because these tapes come from previously unreleased recording of the last two sets played late-hours at the closing of the famous Jazz At The Pawnshop recording.

The record company accidentally fell upon this treasure while looking for the masters of Volume II of the original album.  The 40 year-old tapes were in excellent condition, and over a week was spent editing and mastering them in high resolution.

The album keeps the musical tag which bands played to indicate the end of a set.  A slow fade-out and fade-in was made to identify the break before the last one.  You can hear the musicians walking back on stage, picking up their instruments, and getting into the final set of an electrifying evening.

Jazz At The Pawnshop – Late Night is a true gift. As a special bonus for our listeners, NativeDSD.Com brings you a Stereo DSD 512 edition of Jazz At The Pawnshop – Late Night. Exclusively available from NativeDSD Music.

The recordings on this album constitute the material from a June 20, 1968 session recorded by Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) and Joachim-Ernst Brendt in Germany’s Black Forest that was originally intended for release on HGBS’s legendary MPS label but for some reason were never released.

This is no ordinary recording.  It’s a remarkable document of an under-represented period in the career of one of the icons of Jazz.

The Double Album Live at Top of the Gate features legendary Jazz Pianist Bill Evans and his Jazz Trio featuring Eddie Gomez on Bass and Marty Morell on Drums. Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top of the Gate from 2xHD and Resonance Records offers listeners a table at the front of the stage for a stellar performance.

You’re about to be transported to October 23, 1968, to Greenwich Village in New York City. Jazz in the 1960s was one of the music’s greatest eras, and thanks to a gentleman named George Klabin, we have this important document of one of its leading talents.

George was only 22 years old at the time, full of passion and engineering skill, when he took advantage of an offer by Evan’s longtime manager, Helen Keane, to record Bill’s new trio. George aired these two fully recorded sets of music one time on his radio show on Columbia University’s WKCR-FM and these tapes have been stored away all these years until now.

This newly remastered and revitalized album of the Bill Evans Trio, one of Jazz’s greatest trios, is now available in not only the original Stereo DSD 64 and DSD 128 editions but now in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, and DXD editions. The mastering was made from the original analog tapes which were recorded on October 23, 1968, in Greenwich Village on an Ampex recorder, using an analog tube console.

The new Stereo DSD 512 edition of the album is exclusively available at NativeDSD and was created by NativeDSD Mastering Engineer Tom Caulfield using the Signalyst “EC” modulators.

***Please Note***
The sample tracks below are generated from the digital version of this album. The songs included on the LP are as shown on the image of the back sleeve above.

Jaco Pastorius: Truth, Liberty & Soul is an album with more than 130 minutes of extraordinary high-fidelity ground-breaking music, on a live album with electric bass genius Jaco Pastorius and the Word of Mouth Big Band.

The band included Jaco Pastorius (Bass & Vocals), Bob Mintzer (Tenor and Soprano Saxophones and Bass Clarinet), Randy Brecker (Trumpet), Othello Molineaux (Steel Drums), Don Alias (Percussion), Peter Erskine (Drums), Blue Lou Marini (Tenor Sax), Jon Faddis (Trumpet), Jim Pugh (Trombone), David Bargeron (Tuba) and harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans as special guest.

It was recorded in 24 track Analog by the Record Plant mobile truck at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC on June 27, 1982 as part of George Wein’s Kool Jazz Festival. The album is presented from beginning to end exactly as it happened.

This Deluxe 45rpm 200g edition is the first one to be mastered from the original 2 track master tapes that were found some 30 years later (the previous digital download versions were released from a digital remix of the 24 tracks). What we have here is the direct copy of the original pure analog 2 track.

Thom Jurek from AllMusic says “Truth, Liberty & Soul is for the Pastorius fanatics, but it’s much more. This fantastically recorded document is a treasure trove of modern progressive jazz. The brilliant music found on it serves to underscore that Jaco was more than a brilliant, singular bassist (though that would have been enough); he was a great composer, arranger, and charismatic bandleader — a true jazz renaissance man.”
