Members of HUDSON Reflect on their Audiophile Vinyl
"Record Store Day" Release:
Jack DeJohnette:
"I am excited our Hudson album is being released on
vinyl. Much of the material we rediscovered was released originally in an
analog format. There was a warmth and depth to those sonic sounds not
transparent with a digital release that we hope fans will appreciate in this
configuration"
Larry Grenadier:
"The music on Hudson definitely harkens back to the era
when vinyl ruled. The repertoire and the overall vibe represent a time when
there was a Side A and Side B. I'm really glad listeners will be able to
experience the music in this format."
John Medeski:
"Record Store Day has a unique audience and it's a
special opportunity to share Hudson in a sacred format. The dimensions of the
recording take on a whole new life on vinyl. I'm especially excited since we
really only listen to records at home."
John Scofield:
"I really enjoy the sound of my tube guitar amp on
vinyl more than any other format. My earliest music listening experiences were
on records and I'm happy they are back."
