AIX Records 80028 |

General Information This is a very special recording and has become one of my favorites (and one of the favorites of the staff here at AIX Records. The musicians are absolutely first class...just take a look at their bios and discographies (50 pages for Lee Sklar!!) and you know they are capable of musicial expression of the highest level. The arrangements by Laurence Juber with help from his associates take each tune in its own direction. Listen to the 5/4 meter of O Tannenbaum or the Celtic influence of I Saw Three Ships...and revel in the surf version of Hark, The Herld Angels Sing. The MLP/DVD-Audio side is mixed from the middle of the ensemble, which brings you inside the music like you've never heard before (unless you own other AIX titles). Check it out. This will be playing long after the holidays are gone. About the Recording Approach This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of David and her musician friends but instead an exploration of the creative process of making and recording music on videotape and using high-resolution digital audio recording equipment. AIX Records uses no EQ, dynamics processing or artificial reverberation...everything you hear is as the musicians played it. Both "audience" and "stage" 5.1 mixes and a PCM 96/24 bit stereo mix are included on the disc on the DVD-Video side. However, it is the DVD-Audio 96 kHz/24 bit tracks encoded with Meridian Lossless Packing [MLP] that elevates the listening experience well beyond a traditional CD or even a live event. You can chose to listen from the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instruments coming from all directions or place yourself in the "best seat in the house". The dynamic range and fidelity offered by the 96 kHz/24 Bit source recording makes this recording come to life. About the Disc This DVD disc has two sides with digital data on them. One side, the DVD-Video side, contains the complete performances with multiple camera angle video, alternate mixes ["stage" and "audience"], DTS and Dolby Digital audio tracks and a comprehensive array of informational screens about the project and the performers.

About the DVD-Audio/Video Format The DVD-Video side also contains a variety of audio/video media including: complete session videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsals, comprehensive explanation of the DVD format [including DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and DVD-ROM], digital encoding methodologies [AC-3, DTS, PCM and MLP], instructions on how to setup your 5.1 channel surround system, test tones/channel IDs checks and demonstrations comparing stereo mixes to 5.1 mixes.
