Where technology meets art

Dee Alexander, Magic, September 2014 – Chicago, Illinois

The jazz vocal/piano relationship is one of great simplicity, but also of great challenge. Both performers are overtly exposed to view and both must interact brilliantly to pull off a superb performance. That is what has happened here with Jeremy Kahn on piano and Dee Alexander on vocals. Both are consummate musicians, and their collaboration, performing jazz standards, is indeed magical. Jeremy’s accompaniment to Dee and his solos are as good as you’ll hear. Near perfection. Recorded directly onto a custom 8-track Studer/Revox tape recorder, using a custom stereo tube microphone on piano and the legendary Telefunken 251e on voice, the sound is stunningly natural and immediate. No EQ, no reverb. You hear just what was recorded in the studio. This is a gem that should be heard on a direct copy of the master for the ultimate music/audio experience. 

To order an analog tape copy (direct off the master ($250.00) or a production copy ($150.00) of this performance, please contact jonathanhorwich@me.com for details. Note, a direct digital copy of the tape master may be available as well.
