Right from the start Chesky Records had a sound. David Chesky set out to make \»aural photographs\» of each session, capturing as much of the sound of being there as the technology allowed, continually pushing it forward. Every note of every session was recorded \»live,\» there were no overdubs, no fixing it in the mix. What went down at the session, with some of the world\’s greatest musicians, was in the CD, LP, or later on, high-resolution digital .
Chesky mostly recorded in great sounding acoustic spaces, namely churches and concert halls, with the earliest sessions conducted in the legendary, and sorely missed, RCA/BMG studios in midtown Manhattan.
Every session presented unique challenges, but David Chesky and his eeers, first Bob Katz, then Miguel Kertsman, Barry Wolifson, and for the last decade or so, Nicholas Prout, continued to advance the state of the recording art. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we did recording it! — Steve Guttenberg
