Anne Bisson Trio
Four Seasons in Jazz - Live at Bernie's
Anne’s beautiful interpretation of “Summer Breeze” is one of those special moments you sometimes are lucky enough to find in a well-recorded album. This is the closest you’ll get to being live in the studio: direct from the session master made during the recording session.
Over a Spring weekend in 2017, the musicians played live at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, CA. They were simultaneously recorded, mixed live, and mastered direct-to-lacquer by Bernie Grundman on his vintage Scully lathe with tube electronics. The best four side-takes were picked and this was released as the original direct-to-disc Four Seasons in Jazz: Live at Bernie's.
A 100% analogue recording chain was used, utilizing vintage tube microphones, and a 600lb EMT 140 Plate Reverb for the vocals. The sessions were also recorded direct-to-2track tape for reel-to-reel release.
The freshest and closest to the actual musical performance you can get.

It has to be about the music first. If you put all your energy into sound quality, a lot of the time the music suffers because you are running around making the musicians uncomfortable, moving them around, moving mics…
