notes

Appears to be the same as AIX All Stars - Surrounded By Christmas but with a new barcode stcker over the top of the printed barcode.

The ultimate Christmas Jazz disc in full 5.1 surround. Members of the AIX All Star Band perform familiar Christmas Carols in an acoustic jazz style. The music on this double-sided DVD was recorded in REAL HD-Audio at 96 kHz/24-bit PCM and presented in DOLBY Digital/MLP/96-24 PCM. Users can select from 3 different audio mixes. Bonus features and material included.

Laurence Juber's award-winning DVD-Audio/Video disc "Guitar Noir" was the trigger for this holiday-themed disc. He was so amazed by the sound that he called me up and said, "what else can we do?". We talked about a few ideas and landed on a Christmas jazz album in surround. The tunes were mostly head arrangements but the spontaneity of these tracks speaks for themseleves.

AIX Records' premium DVD-Audio/Video 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 instrumentalists into your listening space. The HD-Audio surround mixes immerse you in the musical interplay with full range frequency response and dynamcis. Check out how great big band jazz can sound!
