Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you all know about a new all analog project I am fundraising for: a quartet record with jazz legend Kenny Barron, Joe Martin and Johnathan Blake.
This new album is a mix of compositions of mine and standards. There are some duets between Kenny Barron and I, and some quartet tracks. The album was recorded to multitrack tape by Ryan Streber at Oktaven Audio, and mixed at Brooklyn Recording by Pete Rende on a custom all tube 1/2 inch Ampex 351 tape machine at 30 ips. Bernie Grundman will do the mastering and cut the record, all analog.
I am happy to send members two tracks at 192/24 so you can check out the music and the sound. Just PM me.
The Kickstarter page is here:

It's funded, meaning the project is definitely going forward. I have tried to keep the AAA vinyl affordable at $35. Once the Kickstarter is over, it will go up.
I really went all out to make this record sound great. I am very pleased with the results, musically as well as sonically, and I hope you will consider supporting this project.

I hope it’s OK to post this. I am happy to answer any and all questions. Thank you for your support!
Jerome Sabbagh
