The King and I (subtitled A Jazz Interpretation by the Mastersounds) is an album by The Mastersounds led by vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery with pianist Richie Crabtree, bassist Monk Montgomery and drummer Benny Barth featuring performances of tunes from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II musical The King and I recorded in 1957 and released on the World Pacific label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The Mastersounds turn the music into jazz, but they keep the melodies in mind during their solos. The results are both respectful and swinging, well worth searching for by fans of the vibes quartet sound and the score of The King and I" - Wikipedia

KRISÚ

Bereits im Juni gab der britische Hersteller MasterSounds bekannt, dass er sich aus dem DJ-Mixer-Markt zurückziehen wird. Als jemand, der die Nachricht erst jetzt mitbekommen hat, bin ich ein bisschen schockiert und ehrlich gesagt, auch etwas traurig. MasterSounds stand für Qualität, analoges Design und eine Hingabe, die man heutzutage nicht mehr oft sieht.

Für diejenigen, die bereits einen Mixer besitzen, ist das natürlich ein Glücksfall – sie haben jetzt ein seltenes Stück Geschichte in ihrem Setup. Aber für alle anderen, die vielleicht überlegt haben, sich einen zuzulegen, sieht die Sache anders aus. Die Preise könnten bald in die Höhe schießen, und was einst vielleicht erreichbar war, wird jetzt wohl eher ein Sammlerstück.

Das Ganze hinterlässt ein mulmiges Gefühl. Ein Hersteller weniger auf dem Markt, der für seine Liebe zum Detail und zur analogen Technik bekannt war. Es bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass andere Boutique-Marken diesen Ansatz weiterführen und die Magie von Geräten wie den MasterSounds-Mixern bewahren.

From our chance meeting in 2016, myself and partner Andy Rigby-Jones @unionaudiouk set out on a mission to create and sell truly wonderful esoteric audio products. Our vision was to create equipment that are truly world class, with our esoteric principles of sound & simplicity at the fore. A vision that turned into an amazing reality, creating products and friendships that will last a lifetime. It’s been an amazing journey of discovery, and one MasterSounds & Union Audio are continuing to make in different directions. Here at MasterSounds, we will continue to offer our first rate aftercare to all products now and in the future, and look forward to an exciting road ahead. May I take this opportunity to thank you all for the unrivalled support you have given MasterSounds over the past 8 years of selling our incredible hand-made DJ mixers, FX Units ISO4s and LinearPOWER’s and for Andy and his amazing team of true lifelong friends at Union Audio for one hell of a ride.
