Live at Hermosa Beach - The Wally Heider Recordings

2 Disc set.Introducing the Wally Heider 3 Microphone Technique - the quintessential solution for capturing pristine audio quality in any setting. Striking a perfect balance between clarity, warmth, and depth, Hieder's labor of love revolutionized the art of audio engineering in his time and captured every nuance of every great performance from the grandest dance hall to the darkest corner of the jazz world with absolute fidelity. No venue too big or too small, Hieder painstakingly amassed a collection of silky-smooth recordings of huge historical significance that were decades ahead of the audio capture of the time, many of which provide some of the only known recordings of complete arrangements by these legendary artists. Now forming the basis of the Hindsight Records catalogue these 'Wally Hieder Library of Congress' recordings are newly remastered and proudly presented here for your listening pleasure. Next up: Howard Rumsey and his famous Lighthouse All-Stars are captured on one of their fabled Sunday night performances at The Lighthouse Club. As the one and only jazz club on Hermosa Beach, Rumsey's residency here became a stepping stone for up-and-coming musicians (notably including a young Max Roach) and established names alike and the band can be heard in full swing on this double album, with tracks including 'Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise', 'A Gal in Calico' and 'Oh, Look at Me Now'.
