Misterioso Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks for the link. I found this interesting: "Numbers One and Two introduced the use of a single overhead microphone, which Nessa felt would "get a blend of what the group sounded like." Denon did this 30 years later with many of their classical music recordings (they called it one-point recordings). I have many (all?) of them and like them a lot. Did not know that this technique was used for jazz recordings as well. Quote
David Ayers Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Nice sidelight on the history! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 23, 2020 Report Posted February 23, 2020 Amazing. The interviewer, Steve Silverstein, is a friend, musician, and excellent recording engineer as well (mostly in the rock/experimental realm). Operated the short-lived noise LP label Wodger, really nice imprint. Quote
