This is not just music, it’s medicine for the soul.

Come Fly with Me By Amsterdam Jazz Trio was written by Jimmy Van Heusen and was first recorded and released by Frank Sinatra in 1958. The Trio are Jochem Braat on piano, Adrie Braat on double bass and Tijn Jans on drums.

Today in the audiophile world, one of said pleasures is our beloved music, and if you like smooth jazz and piano, you must have it. This analogue tape recording was made by STS’ Fritz de With at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam on 30th October 2019. It’s a pure analogue recording made on Nagra recorders, with an analogue mixer, fed by Schoeps’ sublime MK21 microphones. As is usual with STS Analog master copies, the actual (original) master is played back on a Nagra Audio T studio master recorder and fed to a Phillips N4522 open reel tape recorder, and Recording The Masters LPR35 tape stock is used which, being a long-play variant of the studio-bred SM911, is perfect for this application. 

This is not just music, it’s medicine for the soul. Amsterdam Jazz Trio handle this with a bounce, a melodic flow, a softness and an easy-going nature listen to the music which is beautiful, natural, easy and accessible. Yes, this album tape lifts and cheers, as it lulls, seduces and relaxes.

Jochem Braat was born in Amsterdam in 1988, to a house full of jazz music. He played the clarinet for 8 years before one day suddenly putting his clarinet back in the case and lifting the lid of the piano instead! He studied jazz piano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome, and then obtained his master’s degree with Bert van den Brink at the Conservatory of Utrecht. He plays, and draws on, a wide variety of genres – from old, modern and contemporary jazz to classical, from Brazilian folk music to multi-synthesizer disco tracks. All of these influences can be heard in Jochem’s playing, arrangements and compositions.

Adrie Braat studied classical music at the Amsterdam Conservatory, after which he took lessons from John Clayton of the Count Basie Orchestra. At age 24 he joined Boy Edgar’s Orchestra, played in Jeff Reynolds’ Big Band and then from 1981 – 1988 played with the Dixieland Pipers led by Bert de Kort. Adrie is famous for his Asian cooking (so we have that in common, I whip up a great Indian curry) and collects old 45rpm jazz records (yep, I have a few of those too).

Tijn Jans also graduated from the conservatory of Amsterdam as well as that of Rotterdam. He’s active as a teacher, composer and drummer, and is involved in an eclectic variety of music and arts projects crossing a breadth of genres and styles, including Luchtman, Maximalistica, Walk Tall and his project The Tight Jans. Actually, he strikes me as a bit of a renaissance man!

Recording Produced in The Netherlands. This recording was made by STS’ Fritz de With at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam on 30th October 2019. It’s a pure analogue recording made on Nagra recorders, with an analogue mixer, fed by Schoeps’ sublime MK21 microphones. These nice recordings are taken from analogue master tape recordings and mastered in the MW Coding Process by Fritz de With.

Exceptional Audiophile Analog Sound: STS Analog supplies audiophiles with finished music on tapes on famous golden aluminium reel spools which are thicker with five screws on the hub, where duplication tape made from masters played back by a Nagra T to a bank of 6 Philips N4522. Over the years, they have developed their own unique 'MW process' to make their recordings sound as good as possible from studio masters.

The album was recorded semi-live at the Bimhuis Amsterdam on 30th October 2019  by Fritz de With.

In a STS recording, you will find:

1. The warm sound, that acoustic instruments possess on their own, but is often not captured by sound-technicians.
2. Acoustic placing and recognition of the musicians in the recording space.
3. Phase purity of a recording, both the electric phase (good cable/fibre connections etc), and the acoustic phase must be acquired through proper placement of the microphones.
4. Symmetry in the recording; this means always placing the microphones in such a way that on both the left and the right side there’s an equal division of signal, and not placing mono support microphones on the extreme left and right.
5. Transparency and clarity in a recording. This does not mean an overly sharp recording, but one of softness in tone and clarity, in which especially the 3-dimensional recording space is being displayed
