On her sixth Blue Note album, 'Day Breaks', Norah Jones plays eight original or co-written songs and three covers with drummer Brian Blade, organist Lonnie Smith and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. The aim was to return to the sound of her 2002 debut album 'Come Away With Me'.
Jones' vocals take centre stage on this album. Accompanied by airy, almost delicate arrangements, the multi-Grammy-winning jazz artist presents twelve gentle beauties of sound that radiate power in their simplicity. She has succeeded in creating an album with strong jazz influences that also offers wonderful pop music. Relaxed, charming, enchanting, Day Breaks is a welcome addition to any music collection.
This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums' master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player.
