Each set has 2 LPs at 45 Speed, 180 Gram Vinyl on a 12” LP. Out of Print - Only 1,000 pieces pressed. Here's How it was done: Using only the original analog master tapes, the renowned team of Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray remastered and cut all of the titles at AcousTech Mastering, which features a pure Class-A disc-cutting system. AcousTech is located at Record Technology, Inc. the plant where the vinyl was pressed. It is a tremendous sonic advantage to have the pressing plant plating department & mastering room in the same facility as Steve & Kevin could cut a lacquer and plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the grooves in a lacquer which is very fragile to quick deterioration. And of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highes quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music. This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.

In 1959, with his longtime colleague Paul Motian, and the young bassist Scott La Faro, he at last had a trio in which everyone felt his way of playing time. Furthermore, La Faro was compatible with Evans’ advanced harmonic ideas, capable of complementing and enhancing the pianist’s sophisticated chord voicings. By early 1961, the trio had realized Evans’ vision to the point where their music seemed the product of one mind, so uncanny was their empathy. Evans’ explorations of the possibilities of the song form advanced jazz as an art and made his group one of the most influential in the music’s history. Explorations was a fitting title for this collection of probing, almost achingly beautiful music. Israel Haunted Heart Beautiful Love (take 2) Elsa Nardis How Deep Is the Ocean?
