Acoustic Blues

Recorded February 18, 2001 in Zipper Auditorium at the Colburn School for Performing Arts. Joined by two legendary guitarists Albert Lee and Laurence Juber, Dorian Michael is an accomplished soloist in his own right, having released 10 records over the past 25 years. On this recording he explores the blues with an ensemble consisting of guitars, bass, piano and drums. An all acoustic, high definition recording, the tracks on this DVD demonstrate the ultimate in sonic fidelity combined with terrific musicianship and well-crafted tunes. This DVD-Audio/Video was revently named one of the "top acoustics guitar albums" and was selected as a Stereophile Magazine "Record to Die For" by Kalman Rubinson in 2004, the only DVD-Audio disc to make the list. Guitarists and audiophile have raved about the "in your living room" sound and energy of this AIX Records release. It was through this project that I was first introduced to Albert and LJ. What a special session we had! These guys were completely on their game and the interplay of soloing was amazing. The disc also features interviews, bios, a trip to California Guitar and Amp and lots more. AIX Records' premium DVD-Audio/Video discs have two sides. The first side in an interactive DVD-Video disc and the other side is a DVD-Audio disc [which requires a DVD-Audio capable machine to play it back]. The sound of this recording brings these incredible musicians into your listening space. The HD-Audio surround mixes immerse you in the musical interplay with full range frequency response and dynamics. -- Mark Waldrep
