Daniel A Posted July 22 Report Posted July 22 Not sure if this has been posted before, but I hadn't seen it until a few minutes ago. What surprised me was to hear Grady Tate play such a heavy backbeat as early as 1965 (never realized this album was recorded then). Quote
RiRiIII Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Thank you. IIRW, there is also a 1 or 2 hour documentary on the RVG studio shoot by the German TV back in the sixties. It was also commercially available on DVD within a package with more films by the director of this Blue Note/RVG documentary. Quote
Pim Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Thanks for sharing. Lovely footage. I wish there was more video footage of recordings at the van Gelder studios. Quote

Rooster_Ties Posted July 23 Report Posted July 23 Seeing this clip, I’m astounded at the proximity of the cars (headlights) passing by the studio barely a couple hundred feet away — out the window. How in the hell did the sound of traffic not f’ things up royally, and with some frequency?? It’s a recording studio, for cripe’s sake!! Quote

RiRiIII Posted July 24 Report Posted July 24 I am watching the DVD right now. It is really great, and I cannot avoid to dream what we could watch if German TV was there more often. What else was being recorded around that date?
