Lex Quisite: Lex Jasper Quartet Live at MCO from Sound Liaison is an exceptional live recording showcases Lex Jasper not only as a phenomenal pianist but also as a masterful bandleader. His quartet, composed of some of Europe’s most respected jazz musicians, delivers a timeless performance, resulting in one of Jasper’s most distinct live albums to date.
The album is a beautiful and, at times, delicate work filled with subtle colors and emotional depth, yet interwoven with moments of vehement drama. Lex Jasper’s piano takes center stage, gracefully complemented by Vincent Koning’s guitar, Frans van Geest’s bass, and Gijs Dijkhuizen’s drums. The chemistry within the quartet is unmistakable, creating a profound experience with every note—this is musical mastery in its purest form.
The magical atmosphere of the legendary Vara (MCO) Studio 2, with its warm acoustics, coupled with the superb recording and production techniques of Sound Liaison, brings every nuance of this live performance to life. Available at NativeDSD in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128, DSD 64, DXD and PCM 768k from the PCM768k Edit Master source.
