Holy crow, thanks Paul, and Anthony Cordesman. I'm the Bob in CT who wrote in.

Used to use. Whiter Shade of Pale to test/demonstrate amp's and speakers that I'd built.

Congratulations on 50 years in business! I added the album "Jazz at the Pawnshop" to my playlist on Apple Music, I plan to listen to it tonight 👍

At least eight microphones where used to record Jazz at the Pawnshop. Four U47 (fets i think), 2 KM56, a M49 (in omni), one unnamed. The two main mics (U47) in ORTF facing the stage. A studer mixer, two Dolby A 361 noise reduction units and two Nagra IV recorders, used alternately since the seven-inch reels only lasted for 15 minutes at 38 cm/second where also used. It's a fantastic album and swings like...!! It's also available to download as DSD!

Thank you for the video. As always positive vibes 👍

Tom Dowd's "At Fillmore East", live album by The Allman Brothers Band. Still the best live rock performance recording a half century later!

It is a fine recording. I like live recordings where the ambient noises and crowd reaction is captured. Kind of an event.

I have many audiophile tracks, from Folk, Jazz, Electronic, EDM, Rock and Gregorian Chant. Each have their own intensity, range of frequencies and demands of the system. Jazz at the Pawn Shop is a fabulous Album

[gwine]

It is a 2 CD set on Amazon. The whole recording is available on YouTube if one wants to sample it.

I can only add one thing...modern lossless CD (or better quality) streaming is so awesome and in seconds you have whatever music easily added to whatever playlist you use for a particular purpose. From Paul giving me the title to me playing the track it is only a few seconds. In my teens in the late 1970s, I could spend most of a Saturday to bike down to the local record store and buy some vinyl disc, where often only one or few of the tracks were really awesome. Here I am decades later and I keep getting blown away with how much fun it is to focus on the music when streaming. Having around 100 million tracks to browse between is insane. Now Friday evening I am finishing some work and just randomly found some music by Medwyn Goodall perfect to play in the background. All my music discs and tapes are collecting dust together with all my movie DVDs and tapes.

Jazz at the Pawnshop WAS NOT recorded with a stereo pair of microphones AND there were multiple sessions recorded.
The peerless recordings that construct the audiophile favorite Jazz At The Pawnshop were made in Stockholm, Sweden on December 6-7, 1976 by engineer Gert Palmcrantz while producer/record company owner Jacob Boëthius kept a watchful eye over the proceedings. One microphone pair spaced 20 cm apart was responsible for the main pick-up, with a couple of microphones placed to register the "live" atmosphere of the Pawnshop jazz club and a few discrete support mics – all recorded onto a pair of two-track Nagra tape recorders.

The Esbjorn Svensson Trio album "When everyone has gone" sounds truly sublime.

[millepill]

It's made in Sweden, Stockholm in Gamla Stan (Old Town). If you want to impress with your Swedish pronunciation it's Jeart Palmcrantz. The musicians are really world class too.

I've owned the sacd of Jazz at the Pawnshop for years. Beautiful music. No need to say more!

[bruceg]

Congrats on 50 years. I was one of your first customers having bought your phono preamp off one of those ads in Audio Magazine. Also owned a Model 2 amp as well (much later) which made a few trips back to SLO for repair and upgrades.

[white.lodge.dale.cooper]

I love Dave Brubeck's Take Five. Those drums are incredible.

[James-tfvg]

Yes. Without a doubt. Just excellent. You can literally hear the most soft noises

[pcallas]

One of my favorite recordings is Stanley Clarke If This Bass Could Only Talk album. I got it on vinyl back in 1989 and it sounds unbelievable.
