Jazz

Big band and combos. I wish I could do more.

“Songs from the 1920’s and 1930’s” melody featuring an Amy Sue Hardy accompanied by Ken Miller (Director of Entertainment at the Broadmoor Hotel), Jay Hahn on bass, and Richard Clark on drums.

First time taking the newly built recording rig to a remote concert, and maybe not the best situation to figure out what’s working and what’s not.  I took lots of time testing the gear, but still found a cable not functioning properly that evening.  Unfortunately it was one of the main cables holding a flown stereo bar with the B&K’s.  The width of this stage was also impressive and difficult to keep a mic rig above lighting sights.  I also used hi-lights on the three band members and took splits from the live rig.  Another unfortunate aspect concerned the arrangement of the provided live sound, though I tried to do my best to help out.  Can’t do everything!

For a jazz recording with the problems that happened and wishing for another cable or two, I do like how the recording turned out.
