Lyn Stanley has been awarded Female Jazz Vocalist of The Year 2018 from one of the most visible public radio stations in the USA, KKJz-Los Angeles who have the highest Nielsen ratings for jazz radio audiences in the U.S.
The Moonlight Sessions Volume Two is part of Lyn Stanley's master copy series for four of her Bernie Grundman mastered analog albums.
These tapes are created by the owner of a professional tape reproduction company dedicated entirely to tape production with over 30 years experience and incredible top of the line tape professional recording machines.
The Lyn Stanley "Signature Series Tape" titles come with two reels, both tapes in a black box with label.

Critics are raving about this project and the #1 Jazz radio station in the USA, KKjz proclaims Lyn to be one of the "most outstanding" vocalists in jazz, calling the project "Brilliant!"

Writer, and LA Audio Show staff member, Chuck Bruce, noted in the same post these tapes were "magnificent."
**It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.
one of the most outstanding packages I've ever seen!...Amazing...spectacular sound quality
