Changing Technologies

Ive just finished an amazing show with Max Weinberg and his Big Band, WOW what can I say but Myself and Max have much in common, I love this music, Rock and Roll and all that is great but 14 Horn players and a Rhythm section do something to me. This has to be one of the hottest bands Ive heard since the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra came thru with Walt Andrus on vocals. Hot Hot Hot, and what made it even cooler we had the Legend Bob Heil in the House who brought us a bunch of new mics to play with and use, The Heil Mics are simply blowing most of the old brands out of the water, Im an Audix fan and I love my Audix mics but now Ive got a double barrel arsenal of choices. We used ALL Heil mics on every instrument, every horn, Sax, Tromboine, Trumpet, Grand Piano, Bass, and all over Max's DW Drumkit.....

I didnt use one compressor, nor gate, nor anything other then System EQ and Channel EQ and in may cases it was FLAT and the outcome was one totally feedback free nite of Big Band glory and sound. These Heil mics have such great rejection and we had 24 OPEN Mic channels, the only channel I could mute was the Wireless talk back that he used between to digress about the band, the music and beats. Of course we then informed Max that he was in the Hometown of Miles Davis World Renowned trumpeter extraordinaire, He simply had one of his young and talented Trumpeters play a song in honor of Miles and he was great......

Winters here and its been a tough year, I haven't worked as much as Id like too, My Moms been deathly ill but doing better, I lost two great Friends aged 52/53 respectively to Heart Attacks and Im praying the Grim Reaper has gotten his fill, its been a tough year......
God Bless all.....
