Smoke Sessions - 200 Gram Virgin Vinyl - 798304286106

Mastered by Kevin Gray - Pressed at QRP Quality Record Pressings

500 Hand Numbered Numbered Copies Limited Edition

Smoke Sessions Volume 1 is a collector’s edition sampler of our first four titles.

Pressed on 200 gram vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, it is destined to be a rare collectors item as it is limited to only 500 hand numbered copies.

The packing is a classic “tip-on style” gatefold jacket featuring original artwork and liner notes, as well as photography by noted jazz photographer Jimmy Katz. All Smoke Sessions releases are produced using vintage techniques and audio paths—i.e. Rupert Neve-designed mixing consoles (Amek-Angela), Studer mastering decks, and Manley tube equalization—in combination with modern high definition recording techniques.

Mastered by celebrated vinyl mastering engineer Kevin Gray, these carefully selected tracks include: Vincent Herring’s exhilarating “Elation” from his own The Uptown Shuffle; a classic reading of Kurt Weill’s “My Ship” from David Hazeltine’s For All We Know; George Cable’s jazz-rock classic “Think on Me” from Javon Jackson’s Expression; and Thad Jones’ beautiful ballad “To You” from Harold Mabern’s Right On Time.
