| “ | Ultimately, comparing For True to Backatown is pointless: they are of a piece.

| “ | New Orleans' Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews knows the music biz inside out. Hounded for years by friends and music business types to jump into the game, he understood the lessons of his lineage elders: too many had been been ripped off and discarded. He took his time, assembling, rehearsing, and touring Orleans Avenue, a band steeped in brass band history, jazz improv, funk, soul, rock, and hip hop. He finally signed to Verve Forecast and released Backatown in April of 2010. Entering at number one on the jazz charts, it stayed there for nine straight weeks, and was in the Top Ten for over six months. For True hits while Backatown is climbing again. Chock-full of cameos -- in the manner of modern hip-hop recordings -- it is an extension of Backatown but not necessarily in sound. It's perhaps crisper in production, but the musical diversity more than compensates. In addition to trombone, Shorty plays trumpet, organ, piano, drums, synths, and, of course, sings. Orleans Avenue colors the rest. They are tighter, even more confident, and perhaps even more adventurous here. Though Shorty handles some tracks playing all the instruments himself, or with a guest or two, OA bear the lion's share with gravitas. “Buckjump” is the first clue that this is part two -- it could have been the closing track on Backatown. The Rebirth Brass Band guest and play a big funky horn chart as Shorty's big trombone solo greases the skids. NOLA's Weebie chants in tandem with the break-heavy rhythm track. "Encore" (written with Motown's Lamont Dozier) showcases some of Shorty's B-3 and soulful vocal skills, as Warren Haynes lends his trademark guitar sound. The title track, one of the album's brief musical interludes, features Shorty's solo with a killer trumpet break. “Do to Me” has a melody constructed around Shorty's smoking bone solo and a knife-edged guitar solo from Jeff Beck. "The Craziest Things" and "Dumaine Street" showcase Shorty's and Orleans Avenue's collective ability to create locking, complementary grooves; they play funky second-line rhythms countered by a jazz horn chart and improv in an R&B tune on the former, and a marching stepper on the latter. Ivan and Cyril Neville help with some fine vocal work on "Nervis," and Ledisi's stellar performance on the swinging rhythm & blues “Then There Was You” shines. Quite surprisingly, so does Kid Rock's rap on "Mrs. Orleans." The cut "Big 12," with producer Ben Ellman on blues harmonica, is titled for Shorty's older brother James' nickname, it kicks with big bass drums, hi-hat, and snares, locked on horns, rock guitar vamps, and a dubwise bassline. Ultimately, comparing For True to Backatown is pointless: they are of a piece. While you may prefer one over the other, they are, in essence, two parts of a compelling and dynamic musical aesthetic that is firmly in and of the 21st century, as they look back at history and forward to create it. - Review from allmusic.com | ” |

It's my first download of a rip by aksman's new gear AND it's the first "reference listen" through my new gear:
• SPEAKERS: 2x Fostex SM6600 Studio Monitors, at rearfield | 2x TDL Electronics monitors, at nearfield // The 4 speakers are running as stereo
• AMPS: QUAD 34 Preamp (solid-state) | QUAD 405 Poweramp (solid-state)
Here is a quote from 2007: "..The Quad sound is a very distinctive one. Quite flat and not at all overstated. It's the "closest approach to the original sound". And the build quality is second to none.."
I tested the sound quality of my rig by playing a few favourite reference tracks from my collection, just to name two: "Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - Original pressing PBTHAL Vinyl Rip" and "Helmut Walcha - playing BACH on the organ at St.Laurens Church, Alkmaar, Holland (1962) - CD Deutsche Grammophon"
So, how does this vinyl rip by aksman sound to me? ...nothing less than sublime!!! I feel as if the LP is on a turntable in my room and I am dropping the needle down myself!!! clarity, definition and sweet tones are hitting my ears from every range of the audio spectrum.
I'm rendering a real-time visualization of the audio file in the Waveform Seekbar in foobar2000 , and the detail is truly astonishing! ...trust me, I stare at a LOT of waveforms, but this type of waveform has me dazzled. I don't see it often.
And that JPG image of the Dynamic Range being used as part of the artwork ...very cool AKSMAN +++ ...it looks a bit blurry in my foobar2000 auto-cycling artwork viewing panel, any chance you can offer it at slightly higher resolution next time?
EVERYTHING here is 10/10 ...even the music itself; very nice music.
Thankyou AKSMAN ++++++++++
Congratulations for the new Benchmark and thanks for share.
