  • Trivia
    Legendary jazz recording engineer.
  • Quotes
    There was no recording industry, really, when I started in all this, and so as I pursued recording as a hobby, I became that kid from New Jersey whom jazz musicians would come to see. The fact that, after a while, people started paying me for this was a surprise, although I'm happy about that now.
