Jazz was alive and well today at the Bop Stop Studios.  It was our pleasure to host two EXCELLENT Musicians in Saxophonist, Doug Leaffer and Pianist, Dr. Geoff Hicks!

It was wonderful to hear some beautiful acoustic sounds emanating from the studio.  It was an intimate DUET, by necessity as these gentleman both have such beautiful tone and sweetness!  

10 minute set up, sound check, and we tracked 11 tunes in 4 hours of some gorgeous sounding Straight Ahead JAZZ!!

Piano was freshly tuned and most of all had a deep voicing done, which just sweetened it right up!! 

Piano was recorded with a Stereo Ribbon Royer SF12 (into AEA RPQ) above the piano and a stereo pair of Beyerdynamic MC930 SDCs (into Millennia Stereo) behind the sound board.

Saxophone was recorded with a Manley Gold Reference Tube Mic (into Grace Designs) and a Beyerdynamic Opus 83 SDC (into Benchmark).

A U47 clone Stereo Tube microphone (into Earthworks Lab 201) was used to capture the room!

All direct analog monitoring into headphones, meaning no roundtrip latency at all!!

Please do check back for some sound clips as these guys are TONE MONSTERS!!!! 


We are lucky to have them as a part of the Bop Stop Family!!!!!



We will update links for their future CD!!!!
