Ramones – Ramones
82,00 €Add to cartRamones — Ramones The album that launched punk rock — raw, fast, loud, and utterly unstoppable! Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! 180-gram 45 RPM double LP Mastered from the original master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Tip-on old style gatefold double pocket jacket by Stoughton Printing The Ramones ignited the punk-rock movement with their eponymous 1976 debut album, revitalizing rock and roll at one of it's lowest ebbs with attitude, energy and a loud, fast new sound. By cutting music down to it's bare essentials — four chords; a simple, catchy melody; a sped-up tempo and irresistibly inane lyrics, the Ramones blazed the trail for thousands of bands that followed, influencing everyone from The Clash and The Sex Pistols to Green Day and The Offspring. Although The Ramones never achieved mainstream financial success, they released 21 live and studio albums, had a devoted fan base and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Other bands, such as the Stooges and the New York Dolls, came before them and set the stage and aesthetic for punk, and bands that immediately followed, such as the Sex Pistols, made the latent violence of the music more explicit, but the Ramones crystallized the musical ideals of the genre. Still the loudest wake-up call rock ever had.

Montrose – Montrose
82,00 €Add to cartMontrose — Montrose The Birth of American Hard Rock — now on audiophile vinyl! Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket Few debut albums hit with the seismic force of Montrose. Released in 1973, this powerhouse record didn't just introduce guitarist Ronnie Montrose and a then-unknown vocalist named Sammy Hagar — it practically rewrote the rules for American hard rock. From the opening riff of "Rock the Nation" to the thunder of "Bad Motor Scooter" and "Space Station #5," Montrose delivers 35 minutes of pure, high-octane energy. It's lean, loud, and loaded with attitude — the album that bridged the gap between Led Zeppelin's muscle and Van Halen's flash. In fact, Eddie Van Halen himself cited Montrose as a blueprint for what would come next. Produced by Ted Templeman (soon to helm Van Halen's own breakout), the record's sound is all killer instinct and no filler — massive guitar tones, airtight grooves, and Hagar's raw, unfiltered vocals in peak form. It's the kind of album that never left the turntables of rock fans, and it's still hailed by critics as one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. Now, this classic gets the treatment it's always deserved. Mastered with precision from the original tape by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, and pressed on dead-quiet, perfectly flat vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this edition captures every ounce of the album's fire and punch — the way it was meant to be heard. Turn it up, drop the needle, and feel the spark that lit an era. Montrose isn't just hard rock history — it's the sound of ignition.

Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket KC and the Sunshine Band got their start in Hialeah, Florida in 1973, starting out as KC and the Sunshine Junkanoo Band before dropping one of the words in their name, possibly to avoid spending the rest of their career being asked, "What's a Junkanoo?" It was the 1975 release of "Get Down Tonight" from their self-titled album that sent KC and the Sunshine Band into the stratosphere. It wasn't the only future No. 1 hit to be included in the track listing: also in the mix was "That's the Way (I Like It)." So, for that matter, was the soon-to-be Top-40 hit "Boogie Shoes." Between those three tracks, it became virtually impossible to escape KC and the Sunshine Band during 1975...and that's the way Harry Casey liked it.

John David Souther – Black Rose
82,00 €Add to cartJohn David Souther — Black Rose A gem from the golden age of 1970s singer-songwriters Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket Black Rose stands as John David Souther's defining artistic statement — a lush, soulful record that bridges the California country-rock sound with elegant, jazz-inflected sophistication. Originally released in 1976 on Asylum Records, this was the moment Souther fully came into his own: a songwriter's songwriter, surrounded by the very best of L.A.'s musical elite. With appearances by Linda Ronstadt, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, and David Crosby, Black Rose captures that intimate, sunlit West Coast magic like few albums of its time. Sonically, Black Rose is a marvel — warm, organic, and deeply textured. The original analog recordings deliver that unmistakable '70s Asylum fidelity: silky vocals, airy acoustic guitars, and rhythm sections that feel both loose and immaculate. Every note glows with studio craftsmanship. Souther mined themes of heartbreak and grace, love and loss, with precision on Black Rose. Songs such as "If You Have Crying Eyes," "Faithless Love," and the haunting title track embody a blend of vulnerability and effortless cool that defined the era. Rich, timeless, and radiantly human — Black Rose by John David Souther is a masterpiece that still blooms with every play.

Gram Parsons – Grievous Angel
82,00 €Add to cartGram Parsons — Grievous Angel Parsons' final studio album — breathtaking fusion of country, soul and rock Part of the Acoustic Sounds 40 Series Releasing 40 titles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Acoustic Sounds! Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket After a summer tour, Gram Parsons dashed off a couple of new songs ("Return Of The Grievous Angel," "In My Hour Of Darkness"), dusted off a few old ones (including "Hickory Wind" and "$1000 Wedding" from his days with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, respectively) and convened his band in the studio to cut his second Reprise album. With Grievious Angel in the can, Parsons headed for Joshua Tree, California, and history. Released a few months after his untimely demise there, this 1974 album stands among his best work as a shining example of the cosmic American music he pioneered, with superb playing from the likes of guitarist James Burton, and some beautiful harmonizing from Emmylou Harris (and on the final track, Linda Ronstadt). Tracks such as "Brass Buttons," "Return of the Grievous Angel," and "Love Hurts" (a duet for the ages) carry emotional weight and effortless beauty, delivered with the warmth and immediacy only analog recording can capture. Every note feels alive — the pedal steel sighs, the harmonies soar, and Parsons' voice, tender and world-weary, sits perfectly in the center of the soundstage. Though Parsons passed away before the album's release, Grievous Angel became his legacy — the work that turned cult admiration into lasting influence. Its impact can be heard in generations of artists, from the Eagles to Wilco, from Lucinda Williams to Sturgill Simpson. Cut from the original analog masters, Grievous Angel offers that unmistakable '70s depth and presence. Grievous Angel endures because it's a pure, analog expression of beauty, longing, and timeless sound.

Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket When Sundown hit the airwaves in 1974, Gordon Lightfoot didn't just top the charts — he captured a moment in time.

Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket Released in 1972, Foghat introduced a sound built for the open road and the turntable alike — raucous, blues-drenched, high-octane rock with the volume knob always begging for "a little more." Featuring former Savoy Brown guitarist and vocalist "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, Foghat took the raw spirit of the British blues boom and cranked it into something leaner, louder, and ready for the FM era. From the thunderous opener "I Just Want to Make Love to You" to the heavy shuffle of "Trouble, Trouble" and the swaggering "Fool's Hall of Fame," this album cemented Foghat's reputation for tight grooves, searing guitar tone, and unapologetic energy. It's the record that laid the groundwork for the arena-conquering hits that would follow — and it still sounds like a full-throttle good time. Cut at 45 RPM from the original analog tape, this edition delivers richer bass, cleaner transients, and more groove space for your cartridge to track with absolute precision.

Whether you're rediscovering the dawn of Foghat's legacy or spinning it for the first time, this pressing captures exactly what made early-'70s rock electric — unfiltered energy, unbreakable groove, and analog sound at its finest.

Produced by legendary engineer George Massenburg, Trio is a masterclass in clarity, balance, and vocal blend. Every track showcases the trio's distinct personalities while achieving a near-perfect harmonic unity-three iconic artists elevating one another through tasteful arrangements, pristine acoustics, and song-first performances.

82,00 €Add to cartAmerica — Homcoming The sound of the '70s California dream — warmer, wider and more alive than ever!

Mastered from the original analog master tape 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on gatefold jacket With Homecoming (1972), America proved their debut success was no fluke. The band — Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, and Dan Peek — expanded their acoustic folk-pop foundation into something lusher, more textured, and timelessly melodic. The result is one of the definitive albums of the era - a sunlit blend of shimmering harmonies, open-road optimism, and introspective songwriting. Anchored by the band's enduring classic "Ventura Highway," Homecoming also delivers gems such as "Don't Cross the River," "Only in Your Heart," and "Till the Sun Comes Up Again." The platinum-selling album captured America's easygoing West Coast vibe — and cemented their place beside Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Eagles in the pantheon of classic ‘70s rock harmony.

Nils Lofgren – Acoustic Live
77,00 €Add to cart“Lofgren, no stranger to audiophiles, has standard recordings so good — the music, of course, warrants attention regardless of the sound quality — that ‘Keith Don’t Go’ has long been a show demo fave. This set from 1997, recorded when ‘unplugged’ was cool, is exactly what you’d want from a stellar guitarist with a distinctive voice, backed by piano and other guitars: an airy feel, a sense of space, all the requisite woodiness, the twang accounted for in a vivid manner that will make you wish you owned Quad ’57s.” — Sound Quality = 89% – Ken Kessler, HiFi News, August 2016 Guitarist and singer-songwriter Nils Lofgren in 1997 released a small treasure for longtime fans. Acoustic Live captures Lofgren alone in front of an appreciative audience, knocking out such favorites as “You,” “No Mercy” and “Keith Don’t Go,” plus six new songs. Even with the new songs, there are no real revelations, only a selection of little gems that will put a smile on your face as you listen. Yes, this is a digital recording. True to our company principles, Analogue Productions in almost all cases reissues recordings only where the analog master tape is available. However, there are rare exceptions that whether digitally recorded or otherwise, a recording is so outstanding it’s worthy of the highest quality vinyl reissue. Along with his work as a solo artist, Lofgren has marked more than 25 years as a member of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band as well as a former member of Crazy Horse and Grin. Lofgren joined Neil Young’s band in 1968 at age 17, playing piano on the album After the Gold Rush. Lofgren would maintain a close musical relationship with Young, appearing on his Tonight’s the Night album and tour among others. He was also briefly a member of Crazy Horse, appearing on their 1971 LP and contributing songs to their catalogue. From ’71 to ’74 Lofgren was active in Grin, the band he founded in ’69. Solo albums and tours followed every year through the 1970s as Lofgren established himself as a top guitarist and live performer earning the respect and acclaim of his peers. Bruce Springsteen made the call in 1984 and Lofgren joined the E-Street Band for the Born in the USA tour. Lofgren was an instant hit with Springsteens fans through his playing and vibrant on stage persona. Lofgren remains a stalwart of the E-Street Band to the present day. “Acoustic Live is an interesting and charming album from Nils Lofgren in 1997 as he follow on in the Unplugged tradition that became popular in the 1990s. It was actually recorded at The Barns Of Wolftrap, Vienna in Virginia on January 18th, 1997.” — bestlivealbums.com

Hugh Masekela – Hope
77,00 €Add to cart"How sad, if timely: this stunning reissue of the 1994 live album arrived in the very week that trumpeter Masekela passed away. One of the most successful ambassadors ever for African music, his fusing of the continent's rhythms and instruments with contemporary jazz and rock proved irresistible. Nearly every one of you has heard him, thanks to guess spots with The Byrds and Paul Simon. His breakthough hit from 1968 — the infectious "Grazing In The Grass" — is here, along with another 11 tracks recorded at Blues Alley, the U.S. club that gave us Eva Cassidy. Notably, despite its early-1990s origins, this is all-analogue." — Sound Quality = 90% - Ken Kessler, HiFi News, May 2018 "...Hope is one of those intensely visceral, large as life, and immediately present recordings that will make pretty much any system sound at least very good, and will cause better ones to raise goose bumps." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, August 2008 "...The high quality original mix plus Analogue Productions' superb mastering has resulted in a terrific, very transparent sonic with great impact." - John Henry, Audiophile Audition The Analogue Productions reissue of Hugh Masekela's masterpiece Hope, now available on 33 1/3 LP. Mastering from Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio; 180-gram knock-your-socks-off silent heavyweight vinyl plated and pressed by Quality Record Pressings. Stoughton Printing tip-on old-style heavyweight gatefold jacket. The ultimate. A longtime audiophile demonstration disc. Hope will show off your system's dynamic range as well as any record ever released. Hugh Masekela, the outstanding South African trumpeter, assembled a seven-piece group and recorded this great set live at Washington, D.C.'s Blues Alley. The songs stretch over a period of nearly five decades and serve as an informal guided tour of Masekela's life. The songs are honest and bare, and as for the sound — WOW! Unlike a prior 45 RPM version that included seven songs, this 33 1/3 reissue contains the full program as originally recorded with all 12 tracks included! Plus, as an added bonus, we've included a special insert — featuring an exclusive interview with Grammy/Emmy Award-winning engineer David Hewitt, who recorded Hope originally. "Hugh's record is right up near the top for a lot of reasons," Hewitt says. Hewitt and his team were afforded the time they needed, and they pulled out all the stops to pull off what's now recognized as an all-time great recording. They used better-quality microphones, they were micing the room for ambient sound, and Masekela was performing for a sophisticated and appreciative audience. "We used stuff from our stash of mics as opposed to what you'd find typically at a jazz club. We actually had control via the record label and producers, so we could take our time. We had the ability to mic the room for abient sound. ... you've got people that actually know and appreciate the music and respond accordingly. What you've got there is all the right stuff at the right time and the right people, and then something magical happens." Listen to that magic unfold — put on this Analogue Productions reissue of Hope, and be transported.

Blue Mitchell – Blue’s Moods
82,00 €Add to cartBlue Mitchell — Blue's Moods Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Meet your next favorite jazz record: Blue's Moods — because sometimes the mood is blue, but the groove is always gold. Released in 1960 on Riverside, this album finds trumpet wizard Blue Mitchell leading a top-shelf quartet that reads like a who's-who of tasteful, straight-ahead jazz. Mitchell's playing is lyrical without getting syrupy, swinging without showing off — think cool confidence with a velvet glove. Backing him is a rhythm section so tight they might be psychic. You've got Wynton Kelly on piano, a man whose comping is basically musical espresso — sharp, energizing, and never overdone. Sam Jones brings that rock-solid, walking bass that holds everything together like jazz duct tape (the fancy kind), and Roy Brooks on drums keeps the time crisp and the swing infinite. Stylistically, Blue's Moods sticks close to the heart of hard bop, with traces of soul, elegance, and a little late-night melancholy for good measure. It's the kind of record that doesn't shout for your attention — it just strolls into the room, sets down its drink, and has you hooked in two bars. This is a vinyl LP reissue unmatched. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings!

Charlie Byrd – The Artistry Of Charlie Byrd
82,00 €Add to cartCharlie Byrd — The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering Double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Picture this: it's 1960, and the world is still reeling from the Eisenhower era, poodle skirts, and the faint hum of early rock ‘n' roll trying to steal jazz's thunder. Charlie Byrd's album The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd drops like a perfectly timed rimshot, ready to remind everyone that jazz can be sophisticated, soulful, and swing like nobody's business. It was at Edgewood Studios in Washington, D.C. where Byrd, the Virgina-born guitar wizard, with his trusty unamplified Spanish guitar, plied his magic. Recorded in 1960 and released in 1963 on Riverside Records (after a limited run as Charlie's Choice: Jazz at the Showboat, Vol. 4 on Washington Records' Offbeat imprint), this album is Byrd at his peak, blending jazz's improvisational fire with the refined finesse of classical technique. The tracklist reads like a love letter to versatility: from the peppy "Taking a Chance on Love" to the dreamy "Moonlight in Vermont," and a nod to his idol Django Reinhardt with "Nuages." Oh, and let's not forget "Django," a solo guitar performance that's so intimate, you'll swear Byrd's playing it just for you in your living room. The album's vibe is like a martini — smooth, sophisticated, but with a kick that sneaks up on you. AllMusic gave it a glowing 4½ stars, calling it "pleasing," and Byrd's style "clean, beautifully articulated" which is critic-speak for "this is the kind of record you'll spin until your turntable begs for mercy." It's not just background music; it's a conversation between Byrd's fingers and your soul, with every plucked note saying, "Hey, jazz can be classy and cool." Byrd doesn't go it alone here — he's got the perfect wingmen. On bass, we have Keter Betts, whose steady, soulful lines are the heartbeat of the trio. Betts, a D.C. jazz staple, keeps things grounded while Byrd's guitar soars. On drums, Buddy Deppenschmidt lays down rhythms so tasteful, you'd think he's seasoning the tracks with pixie dust. Together, they're tighter than a hipster's skinny jeans, creating a sound that's both relaxed and razor-sharp. And that solo "Django"? That's all Byrd, baby — proof he could hold court without a rhythm section and still leave you gobsmacked. The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd didn't top the Billboard charts like Byrd's later bossa nova blockbuster Jazz Samba (1962, with Stan Getz), but it was a sleeper hit in jazz circles. Its initial limited release on Washington Records meant it was like finding a rare Pokémon card for early collectors. When Riverside picked it up in '63, it rode the wave of Byrd's growing fame, especially after he introduced bossa nova to North America. Jazz fans, already smitten with Byrd's genre-hopping genius, snapped it up, and it became a staple in collections for its pure, unadulterated guitar artistry. This reissue brims with superior quality. Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. For a jazz music collector, The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd is like a holy grail with a side of hot sauce. It's a masterclass in guitar-driven jazz from a guy who could make nylon strings sing like nobody else. It's the kind of record you'll play to unwind, to impress, or to remind yourself why you fell in love with jazz in the first place.

While often overshadowed by his flashier contemporaries, this 1959 session captures Dorham at the absolute peak of his powers, delivering a performance defined by understated elegance and profound emotional depth. Supported by a rock-solid rhythm section featuring Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor, Dorham navigates a program that balances heartbreaking ballads with sophisticated, original blues. On standards like "My Ideal" and "Alone Together," his tone is intimate and breathy-limning each melody with a vulnerability that few could replicate. Dorham also digs deep into his own compositions, exploring the harmonic richness of "Blue Friday" and "Blue Spring Shuffle."

Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish The Wes Montgomery Trio - A Dynamic New Sound: Guitar/Organ/Drums, was the album that said: "Hello world, Wes has arrived — and he brought friends!" Before Full House brought the fire, The Wes Montgomery Trio brought the vibe. Released in 1959, this was Montgomery's debut on Riverside Records — and let's just say, he didn't exactly tiptoe onto the scene. He kicked the door in with thumb-picking swagger, octave magic, and tone so warm it could toast bread. So, what's the deal with this album? It's right there in the subtitle: Guitar. Organ. Drums. That's it. No bass, no brass, no safety net. Just Wes on guitar, the criminally underrated Melvin Rhyne on Hammond B-3 organ (talk about groove!), and Paul Parker on drums keeping it tight and tasteful. The result? A sound so lean and soulful, it practically invented the jazz organ trio aesthetic we know and love today. Wes' tone? Velvet meets voltage. Melvin's organ work? Church on Sunday meets smoky after-hours club. Paul's drumming? Like a good bartender — never flashy, but always exactly what you need. This was a bold move: no bass, no piano, just pure stripped-down swing — and it worked. Why? Because these guys listened to each other. They locked in and gave Wes the space to shine. You can hear the joy in the playing, the energy of three guys who knew they were onto something. Jazz fans didn't just nod politely — they flipped. Critics called it fresh, hip, and boundary-pushing. Montgomery's style, which fused bluesy soulfulness with dazzling technical control, immediately caught ears. This wasn't just a good debut — it was a statement. And it sold, helping launch Wes into the jazz stratosphere. We've given this timeless album the full Analogue Productions treatment: Mastering by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at Acoustech Mastering, double LP cut at 45 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings! Plus it's housed in a Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish. This classic album belongs in your jazz collection because it symbolizes the moment the legend began. It's raw, it's real, and it's ridiculously cool. If jazz history were a superhero movie, The Wes Montgomery Trio would be the thrilling origin story. Plus, it grooves hard enough to make your neighbors forgive you for playing it at full volume (again). Go ahead — make room on the shelf. This one earns it.

Stoughton Printing Old Style Tip-On gatefold jacket with scuff-resistant matte finish Step right up, jazz aficionados, and feast your ears on The Tony Bennett & Bill Evans Album (1975), a jazz gem that's as smooth as a martini and twice as intoxicating! This isn't just any album — it's a legendary collaboration between the velvet-voiced crooner Tony Bennett and the piano wizard Bill Evans, two titans who decided to waltz into a studio and create pure magic. Spoiler alert: they nailed it. This album was a critical darling, earning rave reviews for its intimate, stripped-down vibe. It charted respectably, but its real triumph lies in its enduring legacy — decades later, it's still a go-to for jazz lovers who crave soulful authenticity. Bennett's warm, storytelling vocals paired with Evans' lyrical, impressionistic piano work made this a standout in both their discographies. The Personnel Tony Bennett: The man with a voice like buttered velvet, turning standards into heartfelt confessions. Bill Evans: The piano poet, whose delicate touch and harmonic genius could make a metronome weep. Recorded in a cozy, no-frills session at Fantasy Studios, with just the two of them (and a trusty engineer, Helen Keane, keeping the vibes pristine). No big band, no overdubs-just raw, unfiltered artistry. This album is a masterclass in less-is-more. Recorded live in the studio with minimal takes, it captures the spontaneity of two masters riffing off each other like old friends at a late-night jam. The production is crystal-clear, letting Bennett's nuanced phrasing and Evans' shimmering chords breathe. Evans' harmonic choices-think lush, unexpected chord voicings-add a layer of sophistication, while Bennett's impeccable timing keeps it grounded. The balance between voice and piano is so perfect, you'd think they shared a telepathic link. Plus, the song selection (standards like "My Foolish Heart" and "The Touch of Your Lips") is a love letter to the Great American Songbook. Why Jazz Fans Need This in Their Collection If your record shelf is craving a dose of elegance, this album is your ticket. It's intimate enough to feel like a private concert but profound enough to reveal new layers with every spin. For fans of vocal jazz, Bennett's delivery is a masterclass in emotion without excess. For piano nerds, Evans' introspective solos are practically a spiritual experience. Grab The Tony Bennett & Bill Evans Album and let these two charmers remind you why jazz is the coolest kid on the musical block. Your turntable (and your soul) will thank you!
