Ok, maybe there is not so much to choose from at the Sound Liaison label but each new release is a true must have.
This DSD download is one of the best recorded piano / bass recordings I have ever heard.
It is one of those recordings that just embrace you and draws you in. Spectacular audio quality.

Yes Ray Kimber is truly a jack of all trades.
Good engineering.

Witmer trio: En Azul highly recommended new Sound Liaison album.

The real challenge for a musician
once he has mastered his instrument
learned all about harmony and rhythm
absorbed the music of the masters that came before him
and found his own voice
the real challenge is one that in itself sounds very simple
place yourself in complete service of the music at hand
and play only what the music is asking for
but as every musician will tell you this is the most difficult of all musical challenges.

So many musicians these days are emphasizing the improvisation at the cost of the melody, with the result that .....''you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to''...
(Louis Armstrong)

Yes Native DSD is an excellent label.

I concur, it is a gorgeous production and every instrument is so well placed and realized.

I love his albums as well. ''Water'' his 1st is still my favorite.

One more vocal suggestion that I just downloaded. This is my initial reaction;
Carmen Gomes Sings the Blues, DXD recording. Mind blowing sound quality: The sound stage is amazing. Great repertoire played by fantastic musicians.  Highly recommended album download.  http://www.soundliaison.com/

That Carmen Gomes Inc. would take on the challenge of reinterpreting

Harry Belafonte's 'Belafonte Sings the Blues' was originally suggested by Harry van Dalen, owner of the eminent High End audio shop Rhapsody. He thought that Carmen’s band would be perfect for reinterpreting the mood and the sound of the classic album. Carmen immediately loved the idea.
'Belafonte Sings the Blues' was one of her favorite albums when she as a kid spent countless hours listening to music and making cassette tape compilations from her parents vast LP collection.
"I had a 60 minutes tape that I made consisting of my favorite songs from the Sings the Blues albums of Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Memphis Slim and Muddy Waters. The tape eventually broke and got eaten
by the machine, that's how much I played it!" Carmen recalls.

But the tape version has been made following a pure analog signal chain while the DXD has gone straight into the computer.
The DXD sounds good to me.
There is a free sampler as well on the Sound Liaison site where one can compare the different formats.

Hi Kefas 
the link doesn't work. Which album do you mean?

excellent

The Carmen Gomes albums are available in redbook CD via Bandcamp as well.
https://carmengomes.bandcamp.com/

At least as good or from an audiophile standpoint maybe even better;
The Feenbrothers plays Brubeck one mic recording.
It is the perfect speaker placement recording;https://www.soundliaison.com/

Thanks Kefas.
Very interesting article.

Check the new DXD sampler from Sound Liaison as well.
Especially the One Microphone recordings are very impressive.
Ideal for speaker placement:

Native DSD best album award 2019 has 2 of the https://www.soundliaison.com/ albums mentioned above, winning in the categories best vocal and best world music album.
Both are a ''One Mic Recordings'' meaning that they are completely phase coherent and with superb imaging. I think they are must haves for audiophiles. It's wonderful music played by superb musicians and I can't think of better recordings to test or show off my system.

That sampler is excellent if you want an album to see what audiophile is all about. Even if you don't believe in audiophile it is a must have, so you know what you are missing. And the music is superb.
