[Chesky Records]

Relive the great songs and artists of Chesky's 30 year history with this digital compilation that spans from 1986 to 2016. Volume 1 covers 1986 through 1995. Volume 2 covers 1996 through 2005. Volume 3 covers 2006 until 2016. Volume 4 combines all three into one massive album. All four are specially priced for the occasion. Hear classics from the likes of Rebecca Pidgeon, McCoy Tyner, Ana Caram, Macy Gray, Chuck Mangione, and more!

"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 download.

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 engineers, 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!"
