Singer Dominique Eade recorded twice with Ran Blake, and I loved her well-received 2017 CD,\u00a0<em>Town and Country.\u00a0 <\/em>In addition to a long career as an instructor at New England Conservatory, she has an extensive catalog of recordings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4069\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1188\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM.png 1188w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.02.16-PM-449x300.png 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For those new to this record label, Newvelle issues a new record every other month, sold as a yearly subscription.\u00a0 Each LP is a work of art\u2014the clear vinyl LP is packaged in a beautiful foldout cover, embellished with commissioned artwork and prose, and is supported by extensive information on the label\u2019s website (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newvelle-records.com\/\">www.newvelle-records.com<\/a>). I\u2019ve heard every record released over the last three years and Newvelle&#8217;s consistency of high quality is unequaled in today\u2019s music industry.\u00a0 Watch out Blue Note and ECM!<\/p>\n<p>The concert was held at the Denver Tech Center Hilton Garden Inn, in a large high ceiling room where I had attended other events.\u00a0 I recalled fairly poor sound at those non-musical events that had involved a PA system.\u00a0 Fortunately, Nordost arranged for a professional sound engineer to set up the room and sound system.\u00a0 He brought in a very high quality sound system and mixing board and the results were spectacular, turning a pig\u2019s ear room into a very good sounding hall.\u00a0 The stage itself was a little small for the group, and had an effect on my ability to capture good pictures, but the players adjusted well to the somewhat cramped space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4045\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1125\" height=\"723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1.jpeg 1125w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1-768x494.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1-1024x658.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_6698-1-467x300.jpeg 467w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nordost has installed its professional cabling at the New York recording studio where Newvelle Records records all its sessions, Eastside Sound.\u00a0 Beginning with Newvelle\u2019s fourth season, all recordings will be made through Nordost cables.\u00a0 I\u2019ve reviewed the first three seasons for various publications, and look forward to comparing the sound of the new studio recordings.\u00a0In the meantime, Newvelle\u2019s artists are getting the additional exposure from the Nordost involvement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4068\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1190\" height=\"793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM.png 1190w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.11-PM-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The concert featured never before heard compositions from Dave Douglas, as well as material from Newvelle\u2019s LP \u201cPiano Noir\u201d, and material from its third season.\u00a0 In Elan Mehler\u2019s words, the band, \u201cis dancing between some basic intersections of style and genre\u2014jazz and folk music, poetry and improvisation, prose and composition.\u201d\u00a0 They opened with a composition from American folk music singer\/songwriter Jean Ritchie, an Appalachian song \u201cWest Virginia Mine Disaster\u201d recorded by Dominique Eade on her most recent CD <em>Town And Country <\/em>(Sunnyside).\u00a0 Next up was \u201cBear It To Heart\u201d from the \u201cPiano Noir\u201d LP, that featured Elan Mehler and Sim\u00f3n Willson from this group.\u00a0 The group then launched into a Douglas composition taken from a Jack Kerouac haiku, \u201cArms folded to the Moon\u201d. I confess that until the middle of the concert I hadn\u2019t recognized vocalist Dominique Eade, but by this third song of the concert, it hit me.\u00a0 Her resemblance to vocalist Jeanne Lee on <em>The Newest Sound Around <\/em>(RCA LPM-2500 with pianist Ran Blake) was immediately obvious. I slapped my head over my short memory.\u00a0 I own two of her CDs and am a big fan. That third song mesmerized me.\u00a0 The composition, Eade\u2019s singing, and the bands\u2019 excellent ensemble playing had me laying down my pad and pen for the rest of the concert.\u00a0 True, my hands were engaged in taking photographs, but I was captivated.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4067\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1587\" height=\"1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM.png 1587w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-24-at-1.00.27-PM-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was a performance far above those typically found hi-fi shows.\u00a0 I searched my memory for comparisons and the only hi-fi show concert I could recall was at a show in New York well over a decade ago, featuring saxophone great Joe Lovano.
