GATE OF DREAMS - The CLAUS OGERMAN ORCHESTRA (Warner Bros) CD also featuring: George Benson , Peter Maunu (guitar), David Sanborn (alto saxophone), Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone), Joe Sample (electric piano, organ, keyboards), Ralph Grierson (keyboards), Chuck Domanico (electric bass), John Guerin (drums), Chino Valdes (congas), Larry Bunker (percussion). Recorded 1976 at Capitol Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA. 24-bit remaster CD issued in Warner's Jazz 1000 Best Collection series. "Claus' 'Gate Of Dreams' - a reminder of finer things" - Bill Evans. Yes, when it's good it's that good, but there are a few moments when the sound comes across almost too powerfully.
AMOROSO - JOAO GILBERTO | ARRANGED AND CONDUCTED BY CLAUS OGERMAN (Warner Bros) CD Recorded 1976 & 1977. CD released as part of EU Warner/Atlantic series Brasil Superstar 1200 series with 8 page booklet (printed in Japanese). If you are familiar with any of Joao Gilberto's recordings you will already know what to expect. The opening track is the only one sung in English, but don't let that put you off! Everything else is sung in Portuguese (I think) and that, along with beautiful orchestration courtesy of Claus Ogerman, resulting in the mellowist of moods all adding to the beautiful mellow moods. Four out of the eight tracks were composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The sound on the CD is excellent.
Thanks for the link. Wow this is a long going thread about CD quality I have missed. I am still a high quality vinyl collector but cannot pass some reissues on CD.
