WHAT IS IT?

The Master Sessions is a collaboration bringing together experts and tastemakers in the music and technology worlds, to present a series of live concerts featuring some of the UK’s leading jazz acts, curated by Jazz re:freshed and British Underground.

Each event will be streamed in real time using the MQA Live encoder where the performance will be captured at 192kHz resolution and ‘folded’ using MQA’s ‘Music Origami’ technique.  At more than 100 audio retailers around the world, music fans will be invited to share in a live audio experience like no other: the exclusive gigs will be played through Bluesound’s MQA-enabled high resolution audio players, revealing the original studio performance, as though the audience was in the studio with the band.

F.A.Q.

Q: Will I need to wear headphones?

A: No. The performance is just like any other live concert. The stream will be played through premium audiophile-grade speakers, and will be carefully calibrated to the audience size and listening space — ensuring that you’ll hear detail and clarity like you’ve never heard before. If you close your eyes, you’ll feel like you are in the same room as the artists playing just for you, live.

Q: When you say free, what’s the catch?

A: There is no catch. There is no cost to you. The performance (and the refreshments, which may vary slightly by location) are all free. We won’t cover travel to the show, though.

Q: How many people can attend?

A: Each venue is slightly different, so check with the venue closest to you. You can invite as many friends as you like, but each participant must have their own individual ticket.

Q: Why are you doing this?

A: Because we are passionate about music! Come and hear what you’ve been missing.

Q: Where can I get tickets?
