An excellent DSD studio recording and multi-channel mix accentuate the music's colors and moods. Each of the performers (apart from Dylan) contributed a substantial composition or two to the session, resulting in a very diverse yet complementary range of styles, moving between modern and avant jazz and free playing. The collective depth of the musicianship is evident throughout in the soloing and group dynamic. The record feels fully realized as a unique collective creation, often intense but with a high quotient of lyricism and humor. This is not surprising considering these players' shared experience at the time: pianist Achim Kaufmann and reedist Michael Moore had performed together frequently (including a brief tour with van der Schyff); Moore and basilst Mark Helias had known each other for over 25 years, and van der schyff and trmpeter Brad Turner went back over 10 years on the Vancouver scene. DSD recording mixed in analogue to 2 + 5 channel DSD.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Trio I \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Definition of a Toy \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Duet \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Jacques \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Queen of the Box Office \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Siberian Elm and Furrowed Brown \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Trio II \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Gaivotas Sobre Lapa \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Broken\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dylan van der Schyff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43672338202691,"sku":"10914847","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9847\/3539\/files\/749571.jpg?v=1786701546","url":"https:\/\/sonirecords.com\/products\/van-der-schyff-dylan-definition-of-a-toy-super-audio-cd","provider":"MAILE LOR60x16RAINE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
