RVG RIP

Gonna go through my jazz collection and see what percentage of them Rudy was attached to. Although it might be easier to count the ones he was not on. The hard part is picking the first item to play.

What a long and very productive life he had. I have many Blue Note, Pablo and Prestige recordings done by him. Although he's recognized more for the Blue Note label I believe that the Prestige recordings were the superior sounding. His later Pablo work was very good as well. He is a legend amongst recording engineers. Charles,

Ruby definitely produced a distinct sound for the various labels he worked with. Blue Note, Impulse and Prestige were quite different from one another even though he used the same recording equipment. SQ wise I enjoy the early stereo Prestige presentation, really good. Charles,
