This albumis a collection of tracks that Giulio Cesare Ricci has selected from the most beautiful jazz productions of the legendary David Manley, Anglo-American engineer famous worldwide for his natural and tube sound. The heart and soul of each recorded sound are the result of the acoustic properties of the room itself and the microphones used within that acoustic. David Manley designed the VITAL MUSIC studio in Chino, California, only for "purist" recording techniques, all performances are captured through a Manley "Gold Reference" stereo condenser microphone, directly on 2 stereo tracks. Studer C37 was used for recording with only Manley valve circuits, at 15ips, 1/2inch, 2 tracks modified by David Manley without noise reduction. To realize the SACD Giulio Cesare Ricci transferred the original analog master to Pyramix using the dCS A / D and D / A converters Sound, pure and simple ... music, powerful and impressive. The formations of the various tracks are varied: drums, piano, sax, guitar, bass, percussion etc ..... Giulio Cesare Ricci wanted to celebrate the 35th anniversary fonè by remembering the productions of David Manley with whom he had a great friendship and a special and lasting collaboration from a technical point of view.
