Rudy Van Gelder - Top Sound Engineer sady passes away

I only just found out from my Record Collector Magazine
page 145.

Blue Note Early Recordings featured his Engineering.

Of course  a great help for CTI records
as the main engineer for every record 1970's.
Some good engineering on Allan Holdsworth
CD giving  Narada Michael Waldens  Drums as great sound,
Allan  says that record should not have come out
as he did not sign it.
On the Extended CD we hear alternate tracks
making it   the best Fusion release  on CTI/CBS  CD.



Rudy Died in his Home / Studio  aged 91
August 25th 2016. NJ.

Sad news... Also Hit maker Rod Temperton died of Cancer last week

He wrote the legendary Michael Jackson tunes "Thriller" "Off the wall" and
"Rock with you". Not to mention the slew of hit tunes he did for the r&b funk
band "Heatwave." and collaborations with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Herbie
Hancock and Anita Baker just to name a few.

Legendary People. RIP.

SO sad.

How many of these albums were
food for our inspiration? A TON.

RIP, Rudy and thanks for helping
us follow our mentor.

Regards,
