Robert Len plays wonderfully eclectic music that is both a joy to listen to and mind inspiring. He is obviously a very talented musician, but his music goes beyond that.
I started out with Crossroad and quickly decided that I wanted more in my collection. For listeners who want more than the standard fare, this is the good stuff. The recording quality is, as usual, very high, which adds to the whole experience

BUCKY PIZZARELLI – THE EARLY YEARS
DELUXE double-disc 45 rpm 180g vinyl
A master of the subtle art of rhythm guitar as well as a gifted soloist, Bucky Pizzarelli, was known for his uncommonly sweet and delicate tone and disarmingly straightforward approach to melodic line. He became a mainstay of the New York jazz scene, often performing with his celebrated son John. Pizzarelli was among the few guitarists to play an instrument with seven strings rather than the customary six.
‘I like this album. Not only that, we both like the same ice cream. It’s sheer pleasure to hear a guitar sounding like a guitar again – Les Paul 1972

JAZZ AT THE PAWNSHOP Late Night
DELUXE double-disc 45 rpm 180g vinyl
WHY LATE NIGHT?
The recordings in this album were made late in the evening, at the end of the famous Jazz at the Pawnshop’s last set. They were discovered in a vault decades later and subsequently mastered and released by 2xHD.
At the end of the evening, before packing their instruments to go home, jazz musicians often will play a set for themselves. These tapes hold the recording of such a moment, as the famous Jazz at the Pawnshop group play with longer solos, leaving themselves more liberty to spontaneously explore the many jazz possibilities of the songs. These discovered recordings were mastered by 2xHD’s René Laflamme and released under the appropriate title
LATE NIGHT.
A special moment when musicians play for their own pleasure.

BEN WEBSTER - STARDUST
DELUXE double-disc 45 rpm 180g vinyl
The new and rare collection of tracks on this album is a thoughtfully chosen compilation from Ben Webster’s
European period (1964-1970). The offer to play for a month at Ronnie Scott’s Club in London in late ‘64, marks a
turn in Ben Webster’s career as he settled in Northern Europe, where he spent the rest of his life.
Even if his body declined during his last years, his playing never did. To the last day, Webster played with passion
and intensity and his ballad playing became even more beautiful and tender, simplified almost to the laconic and
delivered with weight on every note. Webster was one of the unique jazz musicians whose presence came through
on every recording. The tracks in this album present a window to that very important period in Webster’s career.
Mastered by René Laflamme from the original 15 ips tapes, on all tube equipment.

“Bill Evans Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top of the Gate… rivals Evans’s revered Village Vanguard recordings for Riverside in June ’61. The music is frighteningly vivid – like being seated at a table on stage amid the musicians.” — Wall Street Journal.
The two volumes capture two complete sets of the Bill Evans trio with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell on October 23, 1968, at Art D’Lugoff’s legendary Village Gate club in New York City. It’s the only Evans recording released from The Village Gate. The trio had been together only for several weeks when these recordings were made. The leader's playing remains a wonder to behold. The quality of the ideas that flowed from his brain to his hands is unmatched in the history of jazz piano. Never the flashiest nor the loudest player, Evans had a quiet grace and an exquisite impressionistic touch that to this day remain unequaled.

TRIO DE CURDA - LIBER TANGO
Single disc 33 ⅓ rpm 180g vinyl
Liber Tango is a spontaneous, live analog recording of Tango and Latin music, built around Astor Piazzolla’s monumental Libertango legacy. The recording was made off-the-floor, with no overdubs and no editing, keeping the pure energy and appeal of the moment.

Liber Tango is a killer recording in either analog format. This Blumlein miked recording using a single Neuman stereo SM 69 tube microphone feeding a Nagra IVs tape machine features the Trio de Curda performing nine compositions (eight on LP with the track "Pedacito de Cielo" omitted) from famed Argentinian tango master, composer, arranger and musician Astor Piazzola. The trio covers many familiar Piazzola pieces including the cover title "Libertango" (meaning liberty and tango in Spanish) that heralded Piazzolla's break from classical to tango nuevo and its jazz and classical elements. This recording is extremely natural sounding and replete with effortless dynamics and detailed low frequencies. The airiness surrounding the cello and bass on the tape is something special! It's like the trio are performing in your room. Highest recommendation!

SHIRLEY HORN - SOFTLY
DELUXE double-disc 45 rpm 180g vinyl
This exceptional recording of a remarkable interpretation captures the reflective mood of the late-night intimacy of the recording sessions. Shirley Horn’s performances here, surrounded by devoted friends, protected from the time-is-money anxiety and the clinical ambiance of commercial recording studios, is more introspective and emotionally intense than anything she has recorded before. The recording is so remarkable, the sheer beauty of her sound will warm your heart.

Noémie Raymond and Zhenni Li-Cohen - DIALOGUES
DELUXE double-disc 33 ⅓ rpm 180g vinyl
Album information:
This album seamlessly unites two musical worlds through a dialogue between two musicians and two composers Cellist Noémie Raymond and pianist Zhenni Li-Cohen deliver deeply personal and expressive performances, immersing themselves in sonatas that have left a lasting imprint on their artistic journeys. The result is an intimate, heartfelt exploration of music’s power to connect and inspire.
World Music Report review:
"Miss Raymond and Miss Li-Cohen’s noble performances of both sonatas ought to make this disc the first choice among modern recordings."
Chris Wolf, Classic 107:
"Glorious is also a word that could be used to describe this recording. Noémie Raymond’s sound is warm, rich, and expressive, with flawless intonation and a clear sense of melodic direction. Paired with Li-Cohen’s virtuosity and elegant touch at the keyboard, the two exchange musical ideas seamlessly. They take the listener on a deeply satisfying journey through the sound worlds of Rachmaninov and Rebecca Clarke."
