Domeniss Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Moment To Moment / Cava Menzies / Nick Phillips Artists: Cava Menzies & Nick Phillips Record Label: Nick Phillips Music Genre: Jazz The album was recorded at Fantasy studios at 192/24 WAV. Remastered through an analog stage to produce the DSD masters @ bluecoastmusic. This timeless gem is a brilliant collection of exotic and soothing compositions. This quartet featuring the exceptional talents of Cava Menzies and Nick Phillips magically seduces the listener into a state of utter tranquility. The flow and the emotion of each song are simply breathtaking. It is one thing to create a mood, but it is quite another to sustain that mood for an entire album. Their fusion of mellow trumpet and delicate piano selections are simply magnificent. This is as dark "blue" and as mysterious as it gets. This is right from the heart of "Cool Jazz" and the "American song book." I would you like you to read the review at allaboutjazz.com. This is destined to be a classic. I am smitten, yes, but disheartened by of how many have not taken note. Get into real jazz! 1. The Peacocks 6:46 2. Mal's Moon 7:01 3. For All We Know 7:59 4. You 5:52 5. You Don't Know What Love Is 8:01 6. Almost Blue 6:48 7. Phantoms 7:22 8. Speak Low 6:09 https://bluecoastmusic.com/cava-menzies-nick-phillips/moment-to-moment#.XW066EXVI2w mkrzych 1 Link to comment
firedog Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Sorry, can’t agree. Other than the really good sound, I wouldn’t recommend this album. I bought it because Blue Coast compared it to “Kind of Blue”. I don’t hear that. I’ve listened to KOB hundreds of times and it never fails to captivate. “Moment to Moment” doesn’t do that for me. It’s just well played, nice sounding and not interesting. Boring. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three BXT Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

I just played that album for the first time and it sounded captivating even on my iPad. Gorgeous....felt like I’ve got neuro-receptor sites for the music. The timing and phrasing is exquisite. KOB is wonderful too 😁 Link to comment
