Michael Fremer and Robin Wyatt Announce: "Rufus Reid Presents Caelan Cardello" LP Available Now!

On this video I tell the story behind the new vinyl record I'm releasing along with my friend Robin Wyatt, on newly formed Liam Records. Bob Ludwig mastered the Duke Markos engineered recording that we collectively mixed with input from "Tone Poet" Joe Harley.
Caelan is an exciting young pianist. Only after we decided the live performance deserved to be released on record did we find out that Caelan (www.CaelanCardello.com) has quite a following in the New York area and that among his fans are Christian McBride and his wife Melissa, who have been watching Caelan's talent develop since he was eleven.
Last January Robin Wyatt and I attended "New York Jazz Piano Festival Marathon" at the Klavierhaus, a piano sales showroom in NYC that our friend concert promoter Jim Luce had organized. We saw a number of talented young performers and then veteran bassist Rufus Reid took the stage double bass in tow and introduced young pianist Caelan Cardello.
You'll have to watch the video for the full story. The record pressed on 180g vinyl at Quality Record Pressings was cut by Matthew Lutthans using Doug Sax's The Mastering Labs cutting system and packaged in Stoughton Press "Tip On" jackets.
It's available at: AcousticSounds.com, MusicDirect.com and ElusiveDisc.com. Check it out!

Thank you so much. I preordered it today with Chad.

[@moogoomoogoo5990]

Looks like something I “need”. I hope there’s a picture of Rufus’ face somewhere on the album.

[@Orchestra101]

Great story! I guess it was meant to be.. Still not available but will definitely spin this one when I get it.. Thank you!!

[@noahman27]

This music is so beautiful and I want to buy the mp3 (even if you think that is sacrilegious). Where can I buy it? I don't have a turntable and I mostly listen in the car. What do you think? Can you help a brother out? Thanks for putting out all this great music into the world!

[@3dimensionsofmusic3D]

What a beautiful story. This definitely was fate. Kudos to you Michael for furthering the process. Chad is a blessing to the vinyl community too

[@67Pepper]

Love it Michael. The story behind it is brilliant. You just never know when something will click and you say WTF, let's do it! How many did you press this run?

Congrats and look forward to getting this. Will a digital version be released?

For now no perhaps later. A streaming master was prepared..

For those of us on budgets a short soundbite would help please Mr. F?

[@trackingangle929]

coming up shortly!

[@HoomanR17]

Michael, it all sounds exciting, the serendipity of it all. I can't help but ask, not as a die-hard AAA fan, but as one who just wishes to know and didn't get the full picture but was this originally recorded digitally therefore justifying the levels of manipulations in the digital domain?

[@trackingangle929]

It was being recorded digitally. We secured the rights after watching the live performance. Even had it been analog the same mixing and EQ would have been necessary since it was a multitrack recording

[@HoomanR17]

@@trackingangle929 Thanks for the background. Looking forward to hearing it!

[@MrRom92DAW]

Why not AAA? If a record produced by the savior of analog can’t be analog, what can?

[@theboomerscalper]

Are there any audio clips?

[@trackingangle929]

Not yet but perhaps soon

Next could take justin kauflin Coming Home 2018 and Danish Rain 2023 and put out on LP.

Thank you - yes I am@@trackingangle929

[@andretraylor7418]

On the album cover, what's the idea of having Rufus Reid's face hidden behind the headstock of his double bass? Perhaps you could have taken a number of angles to represent him, too? For all intents and purposes, it could be Rufus Reid on piano.

[@trackingangle929]

We had no idea at the time that we were producing an album! We took photos with iPhones just for our own keepsakes. It’s where we were sitting. Rufus is cool with the photo…

[@lox_5017]

Why was digital recording choosen over analog recording Mike?

[@trackingangle929]

The entire Marathon was being digitally recorded of necessity. After witnessing the performance we secured the rights. Had we planned this in advance we’d have tried to do analog but the back area is small and crammed so not even sure if it would have been possible

[@lox_5017]

@@trackingangle929 Okay....just thought I'd ask. I'm not all into that Jazz stuff but when I'm in the mood to listen to Jazz I do...sometimes. You never did answer my question about Ted Nugent, do you have a large collection of his music?

Let's hear a sound sample. Thank you!
