When Julian Edwin Adderley entered the New York jazz scene in 1955, he caused a sensation with his soulful alto saxophone style, which prompted critics to resort to superlatives. Comparisons were immediately drawn with Charlie Parker, who had died that same year. But “Cannonball” was truly something special: with his astonishing technique, mastery of his instrument and passionate playing, Adderley took modern jazz to an even higher level.

UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
