Anne accompanies herself on the piano with remarkable grace and elegance, while singing melodies that are both touching and true to heart. A strirring combination of poetry and jazz, melded with a warm voice that thrills and enchants from the very first note.

For her 6th album in 10 years, Anne called upon the talent and services of two ‘Giants of Jazz’: on drums, Joe LaBarbera, who has worked notably with Bill Evans and Chuck Mangione, and on acoustic bass, Darek Oleszkiewcz, who has worked with, among many others, Brad Mehldau and Sid Jacobs. Anne asked Producer/Recording Engineer Michael C. Ross to co-produce the album with her. Diana Krall, Queen Latifah and Christina Aguilera are some the many prominent artists he has worked with.

The results are absolutely amazing. A mature, yet sparkling album that will not only satisfy the stringent expectations of her loyal audiophile fanbase, but will undoubtedly attract a whole new generation of admirersafraid to challenge the boundaries of jazz and popular music.

July, 2019 saw Anne perform with a full symphonic orchestra in France and in August, she will be embarking on an Asian tour, with stops in Hong Kong, Taipei, Taiwan and Guangzhou, China, revisiting venues where she has known remarkable success in the past.

In September of 2019, Anne was awarded the prestigious Robert Charlebois Grant, sponsored by Power Corporation for the unqualified success of her brilliant career on the international scene.

Dating back to the 1940s, open-reel tape used exposed spools of ¼-inch magnetic tape running anywhere from 3¾ to 15 inches per second. Professional studios relied on reel-to-reel as their primary recording medium through the 1980s.

Meanwhile, audiophile home decks brought that studio-quality sound into dedicated listening rooms. Running wider tape at faster speeds delivers the highest-fidelity analog format available.

At 15 ips, reel-to-reel achieves frequency response beyond 20 kHz with a 70+ dB signal-to-noise ratio, outperforming most vinyl setups. The format also adds subtle harmonic distortions and tape saturation. Listeners often describe the sound as “creamy” or “smooth,” a stark contrast to digital’s clinical precision.

Consumer reel-to-reel fell out of favor due to its inconvenience. Threading tape, rewinding reels, and managing bulky equipment couldn’t compete with the ease of pop-in cassettes. By the late 1970s, improved cassette quality satisfied most listeners. At the same time, digital recording had taken over studios by the late 1980s.

Why audiophiles want it back:

Ultimate analog music sound quality that many consider unsurpassed
The physical ritual of threading tape creates focused listening music sessions
New every year releases albums on reel tape since 2016 prove that demand exists
Access to master-tape quality music sound at home

Long live analog and high fidelity music sound on reel tape!!
