CC Coletti is back with "Bring It On Home". The album was recorded by Chesky Records using a new Binaural+ style.

Jimmy Greene’s new release, "Beautiful Life" on Mack Avenue Records, is a celebration of the life of his 6-year-old daughter, Ana Márquez-Greene, whose life was tragically taken, along with 19 other children and 6 educators, on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. In late January 2013, Greene, feeling that “I needed to get back to some sense of routine,” resumed a regimen of practice and composition. Soon thereafter, Norman Chesky, the co-owner of Chesky Records and HDtracks, reached out with an extraordinary offer.

The world of Jazz has been graced by many great female vocalists through the decades – Ella Fitzgerald, Sara Vaughan, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, to name just a few.

Wycliffe Gordon, a master of the trombone, trumpet and sousaphone has always been known as impressive. His bubbling, barking sousaphone accentuates the lively band’s instrumentation in "Dreams of New Orleans". Gordon injects clever intros and surprising twists that breathe new life into these unforgettable songs from the ragtime era and the birth of hot jazz. From his upbeat and smooth "St. Louis Blues" to the down tempo political “Down By the Riverside”, Gordon brings a gorgeous range of Jazz Music that makes you feel like your right in front of him and the rest of band performing live. Utilizing the Chesky Records Binaural style "Dreams of New Orleans" sounds fresh, crystal clear and live with a polished sheen.

Lee Konitz's Chesky Records debut, now available in this Multi-Channel SACD format, demonstrates in full surround sound that Konitz continues to maintain his role as a true icon and legend of innovation within the Jazz community. Lee proves once again his unique improvisational ability by infusing his alto sax lines into the solid framework constructed by his quintet. This recording marks the manifestation of Lee's desire to represent the "possibilities to be creative" in the organic, improvisational nature of Jazz by combining it with the parallel basis of Chesky's recording philosophy - recreating a live, spontaneous event with the greatest accuracy possible, now dramatically improved via the SACD format.
