“A record label for the curious mind, music lover, hi-fi enthusiast.”
A brand-new audiophile label, Gammaut Esquisite Music Recordings, makes a remarkable debut with a reissue of the Pepper Adams Quintet, originally released on Mode Records in 1957.
Behind this project is Philipe Berman, a lifelong jazz collector and passionate listener who turned his dream into reality. This 45rpm 1-LP set was mastered by Bernie Grundman from a flat copy of the original stereo master tape, and pressed at Gotta Groove Records, known for their exceptional quality.
The Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket features a scuff-resistant matte finish and an elaborate 40-page bound-in book filled with essays, photos, illustrations, and production notes — a true labor of love.
This is audiophile craftsmanship at its finest — a debut that sets a new standard for reissues.
