Kickstarter for AAA "Vintage" with Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake

In case anyone here is interested, I am flying to Axpona today. I will be there until Sunday night. I am performing in the darTZeel room (room 1210) and taking part in the tape panel run by Myles Astor on Friday from 2.45 pm to 3.45 pm: https://axpona.com/speakers/?uww_spk...1&uww_nohist=1

My schedule in the darTZeel room is as follows:

11 am to 11.30 am Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Friday 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm

Saturday and Sunday 2 pm to 3 pm

I will have R2R tapes and vinyl for "Vintage". I will also be playing test pressings of the upcoming record "Heart" and introducing my new label, Analog Tone Factory. Come say hi if you're around!

I was asked by Jazziz Magazine to write a piece about working with Kenny Barron for "Vintage". This is what I wrote ...

Nice review of "Vintage" in Audiophilia today. They including "Vintage" in the Audiophilia Dream List:

"With "Vintage", Sabbagh has propelled himself to the front rank of young tenor players before the public. He’s a fine composer and a superb player. And like all great musicians, he knows how to surround himself with excellence.

The recording is from Audiophile Demo Land. Warm, detailed, great bass from Barron’s left hand, plucky string bass and splashy-as-hell cymbals all with a focused Van Gelder-style recording. No higher praise from me. And always present, Sabbagh’s ethereal sound floating above, slightly left.

Recorded all analog [...] Mastering by Bernie Grundman and pressed at Gotta Groove on 180g vinyl. My copy was flat and the vinyl was silent."

All LPs have now shipped! If anyone else is interested, I will now be in a position to fulfill orders quickly at www.jeromesabbagh.com. Thank you for the support on this board, I really appreciate it! Any and all feedback is welcome. I hope those of you who supported the project will be happy with their record.

The vinyl is finally here! More details on the update I posted on Kickstarter, right here: https://www.kickstarter.com/project...997?ref=ksr_email_creator_project_update_copy

I will be packing, shipping and fulfilling new orders for the foreseeable future. Thanks to all who supported on this board!

It took some time but I am happy to report that the vinyl pressings are now done! I received an email from the plant this morning. They now need to ship me all the records by freight to Brooklyn. Once I have everything, I will then spend a few days packing and shipping them! 

It's been a long road but I am very excited to get the records. Thanks to all on this board who supported this project!

Last day to support the Kickstarter for "Vintage"! Thank you to all who supported the project on this board!

Quick reminder: only three days left to support the Kickstarter for "Vintage" (Jerome Sabbagh, Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake)! AAA vinyl, high res files, CDs, test pressings are still available. A couple of free tracks in 24/192 are available to anyone who asks. Thank you for your support!

6 days left on the Kickstarter! Just 7 test pressings left, and no R2R (but I can make it happen for the members of this board if you are interested). Plenty of regular AAA vinyl available though. Any and all questions, please let me know and thanks for your kind support!

@avanti1960 @pindac : Thank you both! Your support is much appreciated.

I'm In as well, and when recommending the link to the Local HiFi Group, one member has informed of their history of supporting previous offered Albums.

Jerome,

In already and can't wait!  Love your projects and music! 

Peace,

Tony

You can listen to a couple of tracks here:

On a Misty Night (Tadd Dameron)

We See (Thelonious Monk)

It’s Souncloud, so it’s compressed but it will give you an idea. The 192/24 files sound better, and I’m happy to send them to anyone here. The Kickstarter page is here and runs until January 12.

The Group debuted my Crowd Fund Purchased Album on Saturday.

Even thought the Music content was not for all, the Quality of the pressing was very well received and in my view much better than some of the New Vinyl Releases  received from mail order suppliers. 

I was particularly impressed by the quietness of the Dead Wax and the Groove.

In the not too distant past, I have returned LP's with a noisy Dead Wax and Groove 

@pindac : Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it. Also thanks for informing your local HiFi group. Word of mouth helps a lot!

A Few Coffees got me back on track.

Pledge is now made, I'll inform my local HiFi Group as well.

@gakerty: Thanks a lot for your continued support! I really appreciate it. We just made the Kickstarter goal so it’s going to happen.

If anyone else wants to sign up, the Kickstarter runs until Jan 12. The regular AAA 180g vinyl is $35 for Kickstarter backers. It will go up after that.

I am grateful for the support on this board, that I’ve been a member of for a long time now!

I backed your last project No Filter, which sounded fantastic, and of course was excellent music. Your previous (first?) album, The Turn gets a lot of plays as well.  The Turn may not be all analog, but may be my favorite of the two for production.  Great music all around in any case.  Good luck, I've backed this one Vintage.

I have backed the Vinyl, My last kickstarter Vinyl was more than a year past.

How does one pay in funds? 

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support.

Backed. Best of luck in the campaign. Very excited to hear the result.
