All four albums, which are available now, are made with 180-gram Black Virgin Vinyl and pressed at Germany’s premium pressing plant, Optimal Media.

For those unaware, Easy to Love is Roberta Gambarini’s debut album, and now for the first time here on vinyl in a Limited Audiophile Signature Edition.

With a lyrical singing style which shows commitment to the heritage of Monk, Gillespie and Benny Carter, she delights us with her debut album, Easy to Love, recorded in L. A.

The first of the Limited Audiophile Signature Edition vinyl double set, one that is, overall, a Heavenly musical experience from start to finish, opens on the shimmering, titular Easy to Love and the ornate piano work within Only Trust Your Heart, before we are given the upright bass-led Lover Man and a finger-snapping, and my own personal favorite here, On the Sunny Side Of The Street.

Then we get the blues-jazz lean of Porgy, I’s Your Woman Now / I Loves You, Porgy, which are in turn backed by the luxurious Lover Come Back To Me and the delicately simmering The Two Lonely People.

Putting this musically bejeweled second vinyl of the set on the turntable, along next is the free flowing piano jazz vibe of Centerpiece and the reaching balladry within Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out To Dry which are followed seamlessly by the luminous, drum-led No More Blues and the simply lustrous, and appropriately moody Smoke Gets In Your Eyes / All the Things You Are.

And closing the show is the laid low, smoky ballad Too Late Now, the magnificently clinquant Multi-Colored Blue, the recording rounding out on the impassioned pairing of Monk’s Prayer / Looking Back.
