Jazz West Coast Vol. 3 (Japanese Pressing)

89,99

These recordings were made mostly using microphones fitted with Western Electric 640AA condenser heads. Their presence here warranted a couple of lines on the liner notes. Along with the Neumann U47 and AKG C12, microphone technical developments gave sound engineers a huge leap in the quality of recorded music, on the way to its vinyl destination.

However much of this good work was subsequently undone by the record playing habits of Fifties listeners, for whom the floor was the main place for storing records during a record playing session.

From the coast of abundant sunshine, and work for jazz musicians in the mid Fifties., this anthology puts onto one disc the cream of the mid-Fifties West Coast jazz scene.
