A great jazz instrumentalists can stop your breath with an impossibly slow and tender ballad. We spent several happy days combing through our master tapes to assemble these drop-dead gorgeous ballads from Mapleshade's archives. They’re from a dozen different albums featuring jazz icons like Larry Willis, David Murray, Stanley Cowell, Jack Walrath, and Chris Anderson. You’ll love the kaleidoscope of moods and colors they lay down. And, you’ll hear the surprising difference a Mapleshade recording makes. The extra detail and small-club ambience heightens the impact of each ballad, capturing every gentle nuance. The Absolute Sound says, “…excellent sound and good music…the stuff of fine wine and candlelight.” (#06132)
