General Information

Ernest Ranglin is a legendary Jamaican guitarist. He's played with artists such as Bob Marley, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Les Paul and many jazz greats. This project brings together the talents of Monty Alexander, Phil Chen and Richard Bailey and a roster of very special guests. Shot in HiDef...this is a great sounding and great looking Caribbean jazz recording.

About the Recording Approach

This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of a jazz quartet 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.
