Review: STUNNING! Another Ken Kreisel recording triumph at M&K, this edition of ENCORE features the M&K audio capture of the Roger Wagner Chorale, and the sound of it all, I tell you, rivals "Wild Wild West" on the TAS list.
Incredible space, definition, and breadth is the result, as we hear these lovely massed voices deliver a Porgy And Bess Medley hard to beat, then favorite “encores” of the ensemble, in Oh! Dear!, Danny Boy, Polly-Wolly-Doodle, Dry Bones, and Set Down Servant.
About M&K RealTime: After creating probably the most significant track in English jazz club history, and having created a sound system for Walter Becker to mix Steely Dan's classic "Pretzel Logic" on... in 1976, Ken Kreisel and his partner, Jonas Miller, decided to make Direct-To-Disc recordings. Kreisel went to the “Celebrity Center” in California where he heard Don Baaska and Valli Scavelli playing with their band. He liked their sound, and wanted to use them for M&K Sound’s first Direct-To-Disc demonstration record. Don Baaska said, “ I recall now that Ken was more interested in the quality of the sound on his recordings, rather than the musical content. It was all direct to disc at 45rpm with specially designed mics and absolutely no editing of any kind. Really organic. Musicians were pleased to record gratis under those conditions.”
This is what made Ken Kreisel such a genius, for he had the ability to record and provide the most incredible range of sounds, that were used as source material for the testing of subwoofer speakers. He would use pipe organs with saxophones and orchestras, music boxes with high bells, real howitzer cannons fired simultaneously for level and impact comparisons between speakers. Ken also used marching bands, flamenco dancers, and even recorded the sound of a steam locomotive using a microphone that was set a few feet away from the wheels as they rolled by.
