Description
The UK’s leading big band, The Syd Lawrence Orchestra, perform live on this fantastic-sounding Chasing The Dragon CD release.
The album was to be recorded live, so producer Mike Valentine had to choose a selection of music which would be of the perfect length. Valentine chose a recording studio which not only had a superb sounding space, but also an engineer versed in the black art of cutting live vinyl. Ultimately, he chose Air Studios with engineers Jake Jackson and John Webber.
The Syd Lawrence Orchestra led by Chris Dean perform music consisting of eight pieces from the big band era, the creations of Glen Miller, Artie Shaw, and Benny Goodman played live at Air Studios.

PLEASE NOTE: you must have a reel to reel machine capable of playing tape at 15ips (most machines only play 3.75 and 7.5ips which is too slow) and CCIR equalisation (most machines only play NAB). We recommend a well serviced machine like Studer A810, Otari MX-5050, Sony TC880-2, Revox B77 MkIII (only this latest model plays CCIR at 15ips) etc.
