Angelo Verploegen, Ed Verhoeff, Eric van der Westen

Dream along on ‘When Night Falls’. A musical journey by way of gems from the American Songbook, interpreted by three grandmasters of Dutch jazz, who know how to beautifully evoke the magical concentration of the night, when the wider world falls away.

Angelo Verploegen’s new album 'When Night Falls' is an ode to the night in all its forms; from dusk until dawn. Through his selection of jazz standards, he tries to capture the course of an evening - while limiting himself in terms of instrumentation, repertoire and recording technique, to evoke the narrow world of the night. Playing with Ed Verhoeff on guitar and Eric van der Westen on bass, Angelo Verploegen reunited a trio with more than twenty years of shared history behind them. The intimacy of that small ensemble suits the evening - through subtle playing that reflects a wealth of experience and attention, we witness a twilight conversation between three old friends, talking deep into the night.

Making-of video

2xHD presents a collection of mono recordings from the Jazzology Records label from the legendary actor, singer, songwriter and Jazz pianist Bobby Troup. On Route 66 Troup is joined by Bob Enevoldsen on Horns and Al Viola on Guitar.

Troup famously wrote “Route 66” and acted in the role of Dr. Joe Early with his wife Julie London in the television program Emergency! in the 1970s. This album, part of 2xHD’s “Historic Series”, is a gift to the audiophile, permitting the listener to fully enjoy the warmth, second harmonics, and versatility of the instrument.

Route 66 was transferred from the album’s monophonic tapes to DSD 256 by Rene Laflamme at 2xHD Mastering using the Pyramix Workstation Software and the Horus Analog to Digital Converter from Merging Technologies. This is a Mono DSD 64 and DSD 128 release (not Stereo, even though our dropdown channel selector indicates ‘stereo’) and is a DSD Exclusive, Not Available on SACD album.

Today starts our giant Jazz Special, with 15% off all DSD and DXD Jazz…

About This Album
West Side Story is a new Pure DSD Stereo release from the Bernardi-Fumagalli-Gattone Trio on Forward Music Italy. It is the third DSD album at Native DSD featuring Double Bass player Renato Gattone – following the earlier albums Les Chats Noir (The Black Cats) and Gypsy Jazz Trio.

The history of American musicals has always been connected to Jazz music: musicians like Gershwin, Porter, Berlin gave vital and precious lymph to the African American musical repertoire with their works and musical theatricality. At first, Leonard Bernstein is an exception, because he does not appear in jazz songbooks as often as the above-mentioned colleagues.

Nevertheless, he left some absolute masterpieces, full of engaging and touching arias. Among them, West Side Story decisively stands out as a poetical and heartbreaking modern revision of Romeo and Juliet. The Bernardi-Fumagalli-Gattone Trio based their repertoire on the most famous and evocative songs of such a precious musical: Maria, America, Tonight Cool, and Somewhere are unforgettable songs of Bernstein’s musical world.

The tunes are played as jazz standards, but always with their own characteristic atmospheres.

The 25% discount is automatically applied in your cart until March 25th, 2022, when we announce the new Album of the Week.

Happy Listening This Weekend!
