'Reminiscent' includes a featured program of Christmas melodies ("A Xmas Suite") as well as Stanley Cowell originals and compositions by Brahms, Thad Jones and Richie Powell. His trio includes the acclaimed bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Billy Drummond. Since his retirement in 2013 from the professorship at the prestigious Rutgers University, where he led its jazz department, pianist/composer Stanley Cowell has been increasingly active on the scene both in concerts and recordings.

In a glittering career Cowell has recorded for labels such as Strata-East - the cult jazz label he started with Charles Tolliver, ECM, Galaxy, and as a sideman on Blue Note, Atlantic, Muse, Impulse! and many others. He has recorded with an array of jazz stars, including Bobby Hutcherson, Stan Getz, Johnny Griffin, Art Pepper, Max Roach, Charles Tolliver and Clifford Jordan. "It's a great pleasure to hear Stanley Cowell's It's Time: a finely crafted collection of mostly originals that is at once sophisticated, both aggressive and pensive, and simply fascinating to listen to."

Live at Museo Piaggio is Scott Hamilton’s sixth DSD release from Fone Jazz available at NativeDSD Music. Scott Hamilton is considered to be one of the greatest Jazz sax players today. His Fonè albums have been appreciated by music fans all over the world. All recorded in places with natural acoustics but without the presence of the public. This time Fone brings you the first live recording with the great American saxophonist in the company of three great jazz musicians Paolo Birro, Aldo Zunino, and Alfred Kramer, his usual partners when he performs in Italy.

This is a Live to Stereo DSD recording made at the Piaggio Auditorium located inside the famous Museum in Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today. Inside the Museum every year the public from all over the world can admire the Piaggio production made over the years, all the models of the Vespe and Ape, all the Aprilia, Gilera and Moto Guzzi motorcycles that have won national and international awards over time. It is a live recording with great pathos. You will experience great realism, great dynamics, great music in an album not to be missed. Each listener, closing his eyes, will be able to relive the emotion of the live performance as if you were present at the performance of these four great artists. https://www.nativedsd.com/catalogue/albums/sacd209-live-at-museo-piaggio/
