The Bassface Swing Trio - Plays Gershwin

In January 2007 the Bassface Swing Trio landed in Stockfisch Studios. These amazingly talented musicians with nerves of steel are Thilo Wagner, piano; Jean-Philippe Wadle, upright bass and Florian Hermann, drums. They played Gershwin, celebrating and improvising this music breathtakingly – and swinging! This recording was scheduled as a direct-to-disc session with plans for vinyl. But what makes this project particularly interesting is the splitting of the analog stereo sum into three destinations. In addition to the direct analog signal for D2D cutting, Stockfisch converted the mix into the highest-grade DSD format (Direct Stream Digital/2,8224 MHz), using a 1-bit converter, and into conventional digital audio format (16-bit/44.1 KHz PCM) as well. The technique yielded an excellent vinyl edition as well as this Hybrid Stereo SACD.
