Скачать или смотреть Friday Night at the Cadillac Club

My New Years resolution... try to record at least 1 song per week.

This week... "Friday Night at the Cadillac Club", by Bob Berg.

"Friday Night at the Cadillac Club", was written by Bob Berg. It was the first track on his 1987 album, "Short Stories" on the Denon label.

Bob Berg was an American jazz saxophonist from Brooklyn, New York. He started his musical journey studying classical piano at age 6. He began playing saxophone at age 13. He continued his musical studies into college and graduating from the Julliard School of Music.

Heavily influenced by John Coltrane, Bob Berg was a member of the hard bop school of saxophone playing. He was with Horace Silver's band from 1973 to 1976. He then joined Cedar Walton's band and was with them from 1977-1983. His big break came when he joined the Miles Davis band in 1987. He left Davis' band in 1987 after recording only one album with the group. It was at this point that he released a series of solo albums, while at the same time recording frequently with Mike Stern in a group that they each co-led. These albums were much more commercially accessible music, mixing funk, jazz, rock, gospel, and even country styles. In addition to his solo career, he played as a side man with Chick Corea, Steve Gadd, Eddie Gómez, and Mike Mainieri to name a few.

Bob Berg was killed in a tragic car accident on December 5, 2002.

I hope you enjoy my version of "Friday Night at the Cadillac Club".

The saxophone was recorded using a Sennheiser 441 with the "FETHEAD" to boost the gain. The Sennheiser 441 is a dynamic mic. The Fethead gives it a 27db bump via the pre-amp built into my Focusrite Clarett++ 2pre. Dynamic mics do not require phantom power. The FETHEAD uses phantom power to boost the gain and just plugs into the XLR out on my mic.
