Analogue Productions, the world leader in high quality vinyl production, is thrilled to announce the December 13 release of Birth of the Blue, a collection documenting the transformative first session in 1958 by the same band that would go on to record Kind of Blue - the one of the greatest and greatest-selling jazz album of all time - the following year. Featuring Davis’ legendary sextet - John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb - who had first come together less than two weeks prior, this historic set was recorded at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio, and captures the origins of a momentous shift in modern jazz. Featuring four tracks, including three ballads and one Davis original, the music was meticulously remastered from new transfers of the original stereo session tapes, and is presented here as a standalone release for the first time ever. Birth of the Blue was pressed at Quality Record Pressing and the premium gatefold jacket features period-correct artwork plus new liner notes from acclaimed jazz historian Ashley Kahn, author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. 

Kahn notes that the four tunes on Birth of the Blue have previously been treated as “archival lagniappe - a stepchild undeserving of its own release.” He continues, “But to quote Miles himself: So what. Together these tracks capture a very rare and special group of improvisers in their first weeks as an ensemble, and have their own story to tell. Together, they merit their own release - musically, historically, undeniably.”

John Warwick from Transparent Audio will be joining us to demonstrate three levels of Transparent audio cables and power products, to show how superior cables help bring music to life!

We are offering small group sessions on Wednesday 27 March 2024 at 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, and 7pm.

This is your chance to hear the comparative demonstration between Transparent’s Super, Ultra, and Reference tier products. Whether you’re already a fan of Transparent Audio, or even if you’re skeptical that cables make a difference, this event is designed for you!

Space is limited! We’re keeping the groups small so it doesn’t get too crowded, and everyone can listen in a more relaxed environment. In addition to some great music, light refreshments will also be provided! So please reserve your seat ASAP!

We look forward to seeing you at the "From Source to Speaker" Event!

We invite you and your guests to our Happy Hour Listening Sessions on Friday 17 January 2020, to celebrate our debut of the extraordinary new Wilson Chronosonic XVX Flagship Loudspeaker.

Peter McGrath of Wilson Audio will present the Chronosonic XVX — the most advanced Wilson X-series loudspeaker ever created. Distilled from David Wilson’s magnum opus WAMM Master Chronosonic, the XVX simplifies some of those new technologies in a smaller form-factor. Short of the WAMM itself, no other loudspeaker reproduces music as realistically or communicates the emotional power of the artists so eloquently.

Space will be limited for the Happy Hour Listening Sessions ... so please visit http://innovative.nyc/events for our RSVP page to reserve your seat! If your preferred time isn’t available, please call us.
