They are all highly recommended.
The One mic recording is very special from an audiophile perspective.

Yes and they start getting the reviews to prove it;

Review about One Mic Recording by Joe Whip at Audiophile Style.
.....These guys and this recording just rocks. Pace, rhythm, tone and soundstage are just off the charts.
The precise placement of all four of the musicians perfectly matches the photos of the sessions.
The balance of all four instruments is darn near perfect. As you can no doubt tell, I am a huge fan of this recording.
It is one of the best in terms of recording quality I have ever heard. Of course, and as always,
your view of the actual music content may vary quite considerably from mine.
Nonetheless, I think we would all agree that this recording sounds sensational....

I don't know about starting to, this SOUNDSTAGE review goes all the way back to 2013;
Quote:
Her style is bluesy and intimate with a sexy voice that's sweet as dark tupelo honey, and her interpretations are unerring. The musicians play to her and to each other, and the ensemble is so tight that the four musicians breathe and move as one.

There are some standards on the set that knocked me over with their fresh approach. Any singer can misplace a few accents and rhythms and come up with something that's original, but perhaps also uneasy and a little strange. Not Gomes, who has taken the songs to their bones and then restructured them to suit her style. Thus "Fever" doesn't sound like a cover of Peggy Lee; it sounds like a brand new take on a familiar song. You emerge from hearing it not thinking it's better or lesser than Lee's version, but that it's a valid new interpretation that could have come first.

The same approach works on "Angel Eyes," "You Don't Know What Love Is," and "I'm on Fire." Most of the rest, including the title song, "Oblivion," "Time Will Tell," "Gasoa Blue," and "The Sea," are Gomes originals that fit right in with the standards. The recording achieves exactly what Bjørnild set out as his goal. It can provide the best seat in your listening room. Go to the Sound Liaison site, listen to a few samples, download an album, and see if you don't agree that this intimate effort is one of the best and best-sounding jazz vocal albums to come along in many a day.

And there is a great new album too;

Listen to 'It Ain’t My Fault', you can hear the rhythmic vibrancy that is NOLA coming through every musical phrase. 'St James' pays homage to our classic history. Then the swinging nature of 'Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me' show how the band has a grasp on many aspects of the musical diversity of NOLA. I really enjoyed listening to RED’s take on 'Monkey Puzzle', a personal favorite of mine.
The entire album is filled with great playing. Loving NOLA from start to finish.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I need more of "New Orleans" style of Jazz in my collection.

Sound Liaison is really the only music that I actually "buy" these days.

Whenever there is a new album from them, I always hope that it will align with my taste as they are always a treat to listen to in high resolution.

Here it is. The 25% OFF Black Friday Sale was nice.

Treated myself to a new high res download. It has been a while since last one.

FLAC 352/24bits and dynamic range is 11.

Most impressive resolution and musically very satisfying.

I'm listening in headphones and tubes right now and the soundstage is extending way beyond my headphones. That is a rare occurrence and only with super high resolution stuff.

The last Carmen Gomes album ''Up Jumped the Devil, discovering the music of blues legend Robert Johnson" is also stunning.
That 27.5 hz bass note opening the album is really something and this is maybe the best recorded natural drum sound on record.

It is Cyber Monday so the sale is still on.
A good over view of the label is their DXD sampler "the Visual Sound''.
It's a superb audio tool for speaker placement as well.
