专辑介绍:
　　Blue Note王牌录音师Rudy Van Gelder跨厂操刀录音！

　　自从有录音技术以来不少经典的爵士乐都被收录在小厂牌的唱片里。HighNote就是其中之一以录制精采爵士乐为己任的公司。老板Joe Fields在1992年卖掉他Muse的厂牌，四年后成立了HighNote，但继续签下不少当年合作过的乐手和歌手。几年前他开始以合辑的方式开发了 一系列用性感女生做封面的特定功能CD。此张2007年最新出版的Jazz after Midnight合辑表面上好像是献给乐迷做下班后放松心情的特效灵丹，但它的功能当然不限于此；高水准的演出在任何时间聆听都很过瘾。

　　清一色的慢板曲子全由HighNote当家的Houston Person，James Spaulding，Frank Morgan，David "Fathead" Newman，John Hicks，Cedar Walton等杰出乐手演出，由爵士乐第一制作人Rudy Van Gelder操刀录音，绝对不会令乐迷失望。

   The only problem of this Stereo CD/SACD is the bad taste cover, which shows an elderly woman or a transvestite wearing a long wig with children bang and grotesque boots as used by the teenager PopRock band Kiss in an claustrophobic subway station, not a romantic place to inspire about this fine music this disc contain.

   Excluding this minor problem, the disc is excellent, very good sound quality, no digital ultrasonic noise and tape hiss is not a problem, indicate a very good mastering job, you can rest the sound quality is very good, with a fine sounstage, a believable musical presence, some instruments are closeup caption as Tenor Sax to highlight the solo musician, in a nice magnifier effect, and in the set of all instruments the recording is pleasing and really suited to relax in a hard day's night.

   The disc box are not the usual CD jewel or SACD SuperJewel Box, but a new solid black one suposed to be part of the special dark ''art work'' for this release.

   The recordings are a good example of the famous jazz recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder(*1924) work, and as a bit usual the RVG carreer the piano spot are in the Van Gelder way, but it is not a bad sound, just the RVG way of recording the piano.
   A shame RVG never win a Grammy, his work are stellar in the jazz history.

   The music are jazz ballads with an romantic feeling, perfomed by famous jazz virtuoses, that excell in talent and improvisation, a pity there is only two tracks with a glorious Hammond B3 tonal wheel sound.
