George Garzone & Trio Da Paz - Night Of My Beloved / 2LP Venus Records

American tenor saxophonist George Garzone, whose powerful playing and adventurous flights of fancy with his long-standing band “The Fringe” have made him a true legend on the Boston jazz scene, has spent most of his life as a jazz educator.

He began playing the saxophone at the age of six, played in a family band and later attended music school in Boston. Garzone has also been active as a guest musician in many areas, touring Europe with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and playing with stars

such as Danilo Perez, Joe Lovano, Jack DeJohnette, Rachel Z and John Patitucci. On “Night Of My Beloved,” Garzone and his collaborators Kenny Werner (piano) and the Trio Da Paz, consisting of Romero Lubambo (guitar), Nilson Matta (bass) and

Duduka Da Fonseca (drums), devote themselves to bossa nova and many pieces composed by Jobim. The deep, romantic sound of his tenor saxophone makes you dream of listening to this kind of music in a bar on the beach on a Brazilian night.

“Night Of My Beloved” was recorded on August 8 and 9, 2006, at “The Studio” in New York and produced by Todd Barkan and legendary sound engineer Tetsuo Hara. The latter was also responsible for mixing and mastering the album.

Venus Records was founded in Japan in 1992 by Tetsuo Hara, who previously worked as a producer for RCA Victor. The prestigious label uses a special mastering process called “Hyper Magnum Sound” for the strictly limited double LP of “Night Of My Beloved”.

The records are cut at 33 RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, which produces a powerful, present sound and is highly appreciated by audiophiles worldwide. A quick note: Venus LP reissues are only pressed once! Once the edition is sold out, the title is removed

from the catalog and will not be reissued. Collectors should therefore not wait too long to place their orders: all releases of the “Venus Masterpiece Collection” are extremely popular!

Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition is sold out, the titles are removed from the catalog. Collectors should therefore consider a purchase in time.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
