A collection of performances titled the World’s Greatest Audiophile Vocal Recordings has been released by Chesky Records as one of their latest Surround Sound Super Audio CD releases. The new Super Audio CD joins two more from the label’s New York Sessions SACD series – New York Time by Christian McBride, Javon Jackson, Jimmy Cobb and Cedar Walton and Traffic by Larry Coryell, Lenny White and Victor Bailey – in music stores and web sites that carry Jazz and Vocal music titles. As with their last round of Surround Sound Super Audio CDs, these three releases are Single Inventory Hybrid Surround Sound SACDs where the SACD serves as both the CD and SACD edition of the album.If you’re into vocal recordings, or want a sampler of Chesky’s material, or if you just want something that sounds great so that you can impress friends with your stereo, get this disc. I play it a lot – for all of the above reasons. I listen to many tracks on this disc, but I’m always drawn back to Livingston Taylor singing Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely.” Through the OMD-28s, the richness and vibrancy of Taylor’s voice were startlingly realistic, with no chestiness or overhang. Furthermore, his voice was tight and focused”. – Doug Schneider Soundstage
