My Reel Club returns to NativeDSD Music with their second release – It’s Getting Cooler. The album is another Live to DSD 256 Stereo recording with an audience.  This time providing our listeners with some “Cool Jazz” performed by the Gabor Varga Jazz Quartet in Stereo DSD 256.

Gabor Varga says “The goal of the Gábor Varga Jazz Quartet is to extend the cool sound developed in the trio’s line-up (György Jeszenszky – drums, Tibor Csuhaj Barna – bass, Gábor Varga – piano) to new dimensions – supplemented with one of the most exciting instruments, the vibraphone (also known as “vibes” in Jazz circles).

The vibraphone, as its name suggests, is vibrant, embracing, rich when needed, with a soft or percussive sound. The ‘M55 Gold Pro Vibe’ vibraphone, played by Richard Szaniszló in the Quartet, is a special instrument. It was provided by David Friedman, a New York-born jazz vibraphone legend.

Drums, bass, piano, vibraphone.  This line-up is at least as rare in Hungary as it is a responsible challenge in the musical sense.  The music world has become acquainted with this form of quartet sound in connection with legendary formations.

December 7, 2019 is a special date for the Quartet.  This is when our second album will be recorded. What sets this recording apart from everything else is the way and conditions of recording. The recording is made in a studio but in front of an audience. We could say that this will be a concert from which an album is made, but that would be a mistake. It will be an album from which a concert will be made. The difference is decisive. Here, the audience can see the workshop work, which in most cases can only enjoy the result.

But not only the interested eyes will determine the result of the recording, but also the technical features of the recording. Unlike the well-known separate recording that provides recording security, musicians will play their instruments in a space set up close to each other, using analog technology and the state-of-the-art digital, DSD 256 format recording by sound engineers. This is a challenge for both musicians and sound engineers. Still, these special circumstances help the band create the cool sound they represent in the most authentic way possible. This is because this recording mode is closest to the recordings of the cool era.”
