A few photos from CES

[Steve Hoffman]

Here are some snaps from CES that might interest you:

Here is a shot at the Alexis Park main exhibit room with Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds/Analogue Productions and fellow mastering engineer Kevin Gray. Kevin and I have worked closely together for more than 20 years now (gasp!)

Chad is going to do another series of 45 RPM jazz cuts when the first series is finished. Sign up now if you want a low number!

Ah, the wonder of digital photography; we look embalmed.

Here is Audio Fidelity (and DCC's) founder Marshall Blonstein and I with one of our new killer vintage Blues 180 gram LP's, fresh off the press.

The meeting of the (so-called) minds.
Kevin Gray, me, Shawn Britton of MoFi, Sh Forum member Elton Evans and original MoFi engineer Kreg Wunderlich.

Shawn has mastered most of your later MFSL Gold CD favorites and Kreg was the original MoFi mastering engineer on MoFi's "The Wall", etc.

I'm surprised poor Elton survived the brunt of our combined egos. Heh heh.

Here I am with S&P Records (and former DCC VP of Marketting) Sam Passamano and Kevin Gray.

We are going to be working on the Eva Cassidy catalog together.

Here is my friend Mr. Ito of WAVAC in Japan, with Kevin Gray, me and Jim Ricketts of TMH Audio (WAVAC's Amercian distributor).

Two sets of pictures were being taken at the same time, hence our far away look...

Here is legendary singer/stylist Lori Lieberman performing at the Alexis Park ballroom. Her original version of "Killing Me Softly" was inspired by a visit she made to see Don McLean at the Troubadour in the early 1970's. Roberta Flack heard Lori's version on an airplane and decided to record it as well.

Great photos Steve!! Is Chad taking orders now? Also, if we call now will he let us keep the same numbers? Also, the bigger question, any hint what the titles will be?

Todd

[Steve Hoffman]

Yeah.

Probably.

Can't tell ya.

:)

[Todd Fredericks]

Can't tell ya.

Evil, evil, evil!!! :)

[Steve Hoffman]

I can say that they are goodies!

I ordered the 45 rpm pressing of "Terry Evans Live at the Village Vanguard" well over a month ago from Red Trumpet. Has this shipped yet?

[Todd Fredericks]

I can say that they are goodies!

More evil, evil, evil!!! :)

So, I take it the first batch have sold very well? Have there been any reviews yet (outside of the forum)?

Hey Steve,

You look like you're pretty tall. Do you have to duck through doorways like I do?

[Claviusb]

Very cool pix, Steve! Thanks for sharing!

[Jamie Tate]

Hey, does Kevin Gray ever hang out here?

Well, I'm 6' 2".

Kevin Gray indeed hangs out here, but he just reads, never posts.

[Jamie Tate]

Just wondering. I'm 6'6" and I noticed you do a similar 'polite stoop' so you don't hover over people that I see in pictures of myself.:)

[Steve Hoffman]

That's right. Years of practice!

[Michael]

Thanks Steve, I felt like I was there. You must of had a blast!:)

[Sckott]

Nice jacket, Kevin!

:) Great photos Steve, and great news about the next installment of 45s! Will you and Kevin be cutting the next series?? I'd love to sign up.

[Todd Fredericks]

Okay, I'm on the list for the next batch and the same number (#20).
