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


A few years ago, I got some support on this board for my Kickstarter for “No Filter” so I wanted to let you all know about a new all analog project I am fundraising for: a quartet record with jazz legend Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake.

 

This new album is a mix of compositions of mine and standards. There are some duets between Kenny Barron and I, and some quartet tracks. The album was recorded to multitrack tape by Ryan Streber at Oktaven Audio, and mixed at Brooklyn Recording by Pete Rende at 30 IPS on a custom all tube 1/2 inch Ampex 351 tape machine that is pretty unique at this point and sounds fantastic. Bernie Grundman will do the mastering and cut the record, all analog.

 

The Kickstarter page is here. It has many rewards, starting with the vinyl itself, in regular or limited, numbered edition, but also including test pressings, R2R tapes, as well as high resolution downloads and CDs.

 

I really went all out to make this record sound great. I am very pleased with the results, musically as well as sonically, and I hope you will consider supporting this project.

 

I hope it’s OK to post this. I am happy to answer any and all questions. 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!

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!

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!

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!
