Speaking about the musical marriage of drummer Peter Erskine, pianist Alan Pasqua and bassist Darek Oles, journalist Jim Worsley from All About Jazz said, “The trio could be considered the perfect melting pot of creativity, complexity, and rhythm, pollinated with spontaneous interplay and intelligent conversation.” That’s quite a summary of these top-tier jazzmen who, after playing together for decades, find themselves at the top of their game. Their Live In Italy recording, which garnered a Grammy nomination in 2022, is evidence of their primacy.

Overview

Welcome to McIntosh SESSIONS Volume 1, an album crafted with attention to every detail in pursuit of sonic excellence. Recorded and mastered with utmost precision on analog tape, it promises a rich, high-fidelity vinyl listening experience that will transport you into the studio to hear the musicians’ captivating performance and original sound.

“This is a 100% top quality all-analog production… a superb-sounding record in every possible way… consider the sound a Tracking Angle 11 [out of 11]… an audiophile demo record with system-testing spectacularly natural sound… The record will show off how good analog sounds, how good the McIntosh systems sound, how good the recording is and, unfortunately, how mediocre are so many recordings in all of our collections.” – Michael Fremer, Tracking Angle

Produced for McIntosh by iconic mastering studio Sterling Sound, the entire production and engineering process was meticulously managed by an expert team of producers and engineers. Every aspect of making this album, from recording and mixing in legendary studios, to mastering and cutting, to test playbacks on McIntosh systems, was undertaken with the single goal of creating the best sounding record possible while retaining the artistry and passion from the studio session. This unique collaboration between McIntosh and Sterling Sound results in an album worthy of the world’s most discerning listeners – McIntosh customers.

“A four-star sonic journey that perfectly embodies the warmth, detail, and dynamic range synonymous with McIntosh… a masterful performance that spans a range of jazz styles… every detail is rendered with stunning clarity… The immersive soundstage transports the listener directly into the performance, while the pristine analog recording beautifully captures the nuances of each instrument.” – Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz
