Hi all, just wanted to alert you to a couple updates in my universe:
- Inspired by a new website dedicated to Contemporary Records, I have added a small amount of content to RVG Legacy. After launching the site in 2020, it came to my attention that Rudy Van Gelder started using baffles in his Englewood Cliffs studio beginning in 1963. This had a rather dramatic effect on the room sound of the recordings made there, and I have been wanting to cover it on RVG Legacy for a while now, so I finally got around to it. Check it out on the “Updates to the Van Gelder Sound” page.
- A newfound favorite has been missing from my “All-Time Favorite Classic Jazz Albums” list for a while now, so I finally added Jackie McLean’s Right Now to the list. And boy did it shoot straight to the top. I have been exploring post bop more and more of late, and I am grateful to have finally discovered this gem of an album. Check it out on the last page of the list.
