Three Tenors: Harry Allen, Ken Peplowski and Scott Hamilton - Like The Brightest Star / Venus Record

Three great tenor saxophonists, one mission: Harry Allen, Ken Peplowski and Scott Hamilton have joined forces for this album to give swing jazz a three-dimensional quality. The ensemble and solos showcase the individuality

of each musician and make for a wonderful performance that combines tension and relaxation in a fascinating way. The trio is accompanied by pianist Tom Ranier, bassist David Stone and drummer Kevin Kanner. “Like The Brightest Star”

was recorded on February 19 and 20, 2019, at The Hideaway Studio in California and produced, mixed and mastered by legendary sound engineer Tetsuo Hara.

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 “Like The Brightest Star”. 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.
