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!

@gakerty: Thanks a lot for your continued support! I really appreciate it. We just made the Kickstarter goal so it’s going to happen.
If anyone else wants to sign up, the Kickstarter runs until Jan 12. The regular AAA 180g vinyl is $35 for Kickstarter backers. It will go up after that.
I am grateful for the support on this board, that I’ve been a member of for a long time now!

@pindac : Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it. Also thanks for informing your local HiFi group. Word of mouth helps a lot! |
The Group debuted my Crowd Fund Purchased Album on Saturday. Even thought the Music content was not for all, the Quality of the pressing was very well received and in my view much better than some of the New Vinyl Releases received from mail order suppliers. I was particularly impressed by the quietness of the Dead Wax and the Groove. In the not too distant past, I have returned LP's with a noisy Dead Wax and Groove |
You can listen to a couple of tracks here: |
