Remembering Rudy Van Gelder on his born day. Rudy crafted much of the sound that we understand as (east coast) jazz these days. In an era of non-disposable equipment, Rudy developed habits in recording that lasted the test of time.

That said, he wasn't slow in adopting new technology, and wasn't afraid of taking on the establishment when it came to digital vs analog.
