Les Elgart- Strike Up the Band - The Wally Heider Recordings
SKU: 699246655930
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: American swing jazz bandleader and trumpeter Les Elgart strikes up his legendary jazz band for a swingin' performance of his biggest hits and most well-loved songs. Showcasing Les and his orchestra at the peak of their prowess, this recording captures their exceptional musicality and dynamic presence in the finest detail on tracks including 'That Old Black Magic', 'Stompin' at the Savoy' and 'It Could Happen to You'.
