Thank you very much @airdronian! I appreciate your support. It wasn't easy to pull off and I'm glad the response is so positive!

- Thread starter airdronian
- Start date
Just saw that this is Stereophile's Album of the Month in the new issue.
I can't link to that but this is nice too.

Thanks @Olson_jr! I haven't seen Stereophile yet but I'm happy about it!
Great, thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
For those of you who are interested, the fine folks at Jazzbums just interviewed me about "Vintage" and other things, including the all analog label I am creating. We talked about the music, getting a sound on the saxophone, Joe Henderson, the technical aspects of recording back in the day and now, pressing plants, etc. It's a free ranging conversation. I had a great time talking with them and I hope you enjoy. It's on their YouTube channel:
Another nice review of "Vintage", in The Absolute Sound this time, which also previews the label I am creating, Analog Tone Factory (stay tuned ...).

🤣 "No computers were harmed in the making of our recordings." 🤣
Excited about "Analog Tone factory"
Will the label be bringing us more jazz artists recorded in analog?
Any timing when we could expect another analog recording?

Thanks @RoadDawgWest!
Yes, there definitely will be more jazz recorded all analog. The first record has been recorded already. It's a new trio record on which I play with Joe Martin and the legendary Al Foster. Release date is September 6 at the latest. I will be communicating about that one and setting up pre-orders in the new few weeks. We are at the test pressing stage and the test pressings are great!
After that, I want to record someone else's band. I am talking to a couple of artists, but I can't make any announcements quite yet. I am aiming to have another record by the end of this year, and do two or three next year.
Vinyl only or will we have a tape option as well?
Definitely tape as well! I'm working on it.
Stereophile's Alex Halberstadt just published a piece that talks about "Vintage", as well as my upcoming record "Heart" and the all analog label I am creating with Pete Rende, Analog Tone Factory. The piece also talks about Dave Slagle's autoformer based passive preamps, which certainly sounded great at Alex's place. It's here in case you're interested: Brilliant Corners #13: The EM/IA Remote Autoformer and Listening with Master Jazzman Jerome Sabbagh
I will also be going to Axpona and, among other things, will play and present the label in the darTZeel room. If anyone is going, please say hello!

I'm really looking forward to "Heart" this summer. And maybe Analog Tone Factory merch !
Now that's an idea!
Just don’t use the name of the company in acronym form or decide to call your fans agents because:

That stands for Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, correct ? US Government agency ? To clarify for us non-US members.
Good point, I had not thought of that. Definitely no acronyms then
In case anyone here is interested, I am flying to Axpona today. I will be there until Sunday night. I am performing in the darTZeel room (room 1210) and taking part in the tape panel run by Myles Astor on Friday from 2.45 pm to 3.45 pm: Speakers - AXPONA
My schedule in the darTZeel room is as follows:
11 am to 11.30 am Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Friday 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm
Saturday and Sunday 2 pm to 3 pm
I will have R2R tapes and vinyl for "Vintage". I will also be playing test pressings of the upcoming record "Heart" and introducing my new label, Analog Tone Factory. Come say hi if you're around!
