What a loss! What an extraordinary legacy he leaves behind, not to mention how high he set the bar for recording excellence.


Legendary jazz recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder dies at 91

By Claire Lobenfeld, Aug 25 2016




The man behind many jazz greats has passed away.

Jazz engineer Rudy Van Gelder has died at age 91. He recorded with legendary artists like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and more and an impressive majority of the Blue Note Records catalog. He was viewed by some as the most important jazz engineer of all time. He also worked with Prestige Records and Savoy Records.

One of Van Gelder’s biggest contributions to the genre was recording Coltrane’s definitive A Love Supreme over 50 years ago in December of 1965. It was recorded in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the state that Van Gelder called home and carved out a special place for jazz by working out of his own studios, his first being a special control room designed and built by his parents in their Hackensack, NJ home in 1946.

The studio was immortalized in the mid-1950s by Monk’s song ‘Hackensack’. Listen to the track below.

And there are so many more not included above.

A few of my favorites to go back through today:



By the way, I firmly believe him when he says the following regarding the LP versus digital debate (I'm pretty sure we can consider him an authority):

"The biggest distorter is the LP itself. I've made thousands of LP masters. I used to make 17 a day, with two lathes going simultaneously, and I'm glad to see the LP go. As far as I'm concerned, good riddance. It was a constant battle to try to make that music sound the way it should. It was never any good. And if people don't like what they hear in digital, they should blame the engineer who did it. Blame the mastering house. Blame the mixing engineer. That's why some digital recordings sound terrible, and I'm not denying that they do, but don't blame the medium." (Source)
