Three Hybrid SACDs from Telarc Jazz

Although they are not "imports," Eastwind Import has decided to carry some SACDs released by Telarc, is one of the very few jazz labels that records in pure DSD and releases new material on hybrid SACDs. These great-sounding discs are compatible with both regular CD players and SACD players.

Hiromi's Sonicbloom / Beyond Standard [Hybrid SACD]
A brand-new release from the Japanese super-pianist Hiromi Uehara! For the first time, she tackles tunes written by composers other than herself. But expect a wild ride that is full of surprises and bursting creativity!

The Tierney Sutton Band / On The Other Side [Hybrid SACD]
Tierney Sutton is one of my favorite jazz singers today. Her beautiful voice, impeccable technique and a long-standing relationship with one of the best bands around are some of the factors that make her albums wonderful. Her latest release is another towering achievement!

Tierney Sutton Something Cool [Hybrid SACD]
Sutton's 2002 release showed her rapid maturity as a singer. The tight band includes Christian Jacob, one of the best pianists around today!
