Home > Music > Chesky Records

Mysterious Shorter was recorded at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in New York City on April 19, 2006. The album was Produced by Bob Belden & David Chesky with Musical Arrangements by Bob Belden. It was Recorded, Edited and Mastered by Nicholas Prout with Assistant Engineer and Session Coordinator Rick Eckerle, Project Coordinator Theodore Thimou and Production Assistants Lisa Herschfield and Nicholas Oddy. The liner notes also thank Michal Jurewicz at Mytek Digital for the loan of a converter used on the recording. The Hybrid Super Audio CD was made by Sony DADC at their Hybrid SACD replication line in Terre Haute, Indiana.Listening to the Mysterious Shorter SACD in Surround Sound, you'll discover some interesting takes on Shorter's music. As Belden suggests in the liner notes, they've taken some of his upbeat compositions and arranged them to take advantage of the Organ, Guitar, Sax and Trumpet in the group. The SACD also does a fine job of reproducing the performances. It definitely provides a you are there level of performance and Chesky's minimalist recording approach with no compression and overdubs offers a nice change of pace from the very compressed sounds we all too often hear in many of today's conventional audio disc releases. Weather Report and Jazz fans will enjoy this one.Album MusiciansNicholas Payton - TrumpetBob Belden - Tenor & Soprano SaxophoneSam Yahel - Hammond B3 OrganJohn Hart - Electric GuitarBilly Drummond - Drums
