Anyone in here worked with anyone famous?
The Brubeck gig was set in the concert shell at the Meadowbrook Music
Festival's outdoor concert pavilion, which has great acoustics. After
analyzing the group's technical rider and later on working with the group
for a while, we settled on a mic for making announcements and introducing
the music, and another mic for the acoustic bass. I don't remember much
about the mic mixer, but the amps were Dyna 70s. The speakers were JBL 001
systems in custom enclosures that were designed to be portable. We set the
speakers up in such a way that the Meadowbrook Pavilion's acoustic shell
worked for us, and provided a nice blend of electronic and acoustic sound. I
don't think that there was that much perception of electronic sound, only
that people could hear things well.
What can I say. Working with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. That is pretty cool.
