JSngry Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 listening to various "early" Blue Note recording's made at WOR. The engineer (so far), is always Doug Hawkins, and it seems like he did a REALLY good job capturing a full group sound, balance is great, so is the presence. What do we know about this guy, other than he also appears to have done some early work for Prestige? Was he a WOR guy who alos did radio shows? Or what?

ghost of miles Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Might be a good question for Michael Cuscuna, or perhaps Dan Morgenstern. I checked a couple of my Blue Note books at work and found only fleeting references to him--no sort of biographical information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Cuscuna mentioned him in some sort of 2004 interview (in context of RVG, though): Business picks up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I first encountered his name in the early '60s on Bob Thiele reissues of Signature material with Hawk, Pres, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
