Any company that achieves a position of leadership must be prepared to meet the challenge of innovation. In the recording industry, this is a particularly crucial factor - because constantly evolving musical material demands ever newer and better recording techniques. For nearly 30 years, one name has dominated the studio monitor market. Altec. In 1973, Altec had more than twice as many speakers in recording studio use in the U.S. than its nearest competitor. And nearly as many as all other brands combined. (Source: Billboard's 1973 International Directory of Recording Studios.) That's leadership without question. Now someone is about to challenge that leadership. Us. Our first step: introduce three all -new monitor loudspeakers. They're a whole new breed, designed for tomorrow's recordings. And they exceed the performance characteristics of every monitor ever made. Including Altec's. They're packed with improvements and specs guaranteed to satisfy the goldenest of ears. Improved accuracy and definition. Better transient response. Flatter frequency response. Greater bandwidth. Greater power handling. And much more. Add to all that our 37 -plus years in the field of sound reproduction, and we think we're ready to challenge the leader. Even if we have to do it ourselves. AL.TLG fáe aund of experi9 z . 1515 S.

The minimal noise irherent in this system assures a low threshold of -40dBM and permits an input sersitivity substantially greater than other systems. Through the use of the most advanced circuitry, the Model 610 "COMPLIMITER "TM has the fastest attack time (100 nanoseconds to 2 micro- seconds). The "COIVIPLIMITER "TM allows undistorted recording and transmission at levels that are measurably higher than those commonly in use. In tape recording, for example, this "limit ng only" mode eliminates approximately 6dB usually set aside for tape overload protection.

  • Pioneers of the Concept Album
    Fancy Meeting You Here: Pioneers of the Concept Album Todd Decker Abstract: The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically signi½cant tech- nological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a ½rst generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The ½rst brought together performers unlikely to col- laborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in song- writer- or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. After setting the speed dial to 33 1/3, many Amer- icans christened their multiple-speed phonographs with the original cast album of Rodgers and Hammer - stein’s South Paci½c (1949) in the new long-playing record (lp) format. The South Paci½c cast album begins in dramatic fashion with the jagged leaps of the show tune “Bali Hai” arranged for the show’s large pit orchestra: suitable fanfare for the revolu- tion in popular music that followed the wide public adoption of the lp. Reportedly selling more than one million copies, the South Paci½c lp helped launch Columbia Records’ innovative new recorded music format, which, along with its longer playing TODD DECKER is an Associate time, also delivered better sound quality than the Professor of Musicology at Wash- 78s that had been the industry standard for the pre- ington University in St.

  • My Way: a Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra Has Audiences, Artists Singing “The Best Is Yet to Come”
    Sinatra Tribute Lights Up The Phoenix Theatre Company’s Outdoor Stage My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra has audiences, artists singing “The Best Is Yet To Come” (PHOENIX – March 18, 2021) The Phoenix Theatre Company concludes its series of socially- distanced outdoor shows with a swoon-worthy tribute to musical great Frank Sinatra. My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra features the story and music of the first great popstar. The high-energy production runs at The Phoenix Theatre Company’s socially-distanced outdoor venue April 14 through May 23. My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra is a walk down memory lane through the music of one of the greatest artists of all time. The production is set in a mid-century cabaret-style bar with an ensemble of four performers singing and dancing their way through vignettes of Sinatra’s life story. The Phoenix Theatre Company’s production includes modern touches in the costuming, an LED screen which serves as a backdrop and the high quality lighting and sound design audiences expect from The Phoenix Theatre Company. “Frank Sinatra was one of those rare performers who left audiences electrified,” says D. Scott Withers, director of My Way at The Phoenix Theatre Company. “His songs are timeless, tender and tough all at the same time. He drew people in with his approach to the lyrics and after the song ended, he left the air charged. He had a voltage.” The show includes Sinatra favorites and hidden gems performed by a three-piece orchestra and local Phoenix artists familiar to The Phoenix Theatre Company stage.

  • Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
    1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 3 There are a multitude of biblical themes expressed by non-believing Jewish songwriters in the American Songbook, but one fine example for our purposes in this class is the theme of: no Sex before marriage “Love and Marriage” In 1955 Jimmy Van Heusen (a Methodist) with Jewish lyricist Sammy Cahn wrote “Love and Marriage” which was introduced (ironically) by Frank Sinatra in the television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. It is the biggest hit to ever come out of a television special. In 1956, the song, "Love and Marriage" won the Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Cahn inspired clever lyrics euphemistically call “sex” “love” and claim that mom told dad you can’t have sex (“love”) without marriage. The song was used as the theme song for the long-running (1987–97) FOX television sitcom Married... with Children. Additionally, the song has been used in several national commercial campaigns. “Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you brother you can't have one without the other. Love and marriage, love and marriage, it's an institute you can't disparage. Ask the local gentry and they will say it's elementary. Try, try, try to separate them it's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come to this conclusion.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

  • Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
    1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 5 “The Good Life” The American Songbook has many songs dealing with singleness and the joys of marriage. A Tin Pan Alley favorite, "The Good Life" was written by Sacha Distel and Jack Reardon in 1962 and made popular in 1963 by the great Tony Bennett. He gained a #18 hit on the U.S. pop chart with it. "The Good Life" has become one of Mr. Bennett's staple songs, and was featured on four of his top-selling albums. He even named his 1998 autobiography, “The Good Life,” and that was after Bennett had taken the cure for his booze and cocaine addiction. The ironic lyrics speak of the so-called “good life” of singleness and freedom, when in fact, the singer tells us the “good life” is really being united with someone who loves you. A “good life” is life with a “good wife,” and you’d be wise to “kiss-off” singleness, Mr. Bennett tells us at the end of the song: “It's the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal. Yes, the good life, lets you hide all the sadness you feel. You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance. So be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance. Yes, the good life to be free and explore the unknown, like the heartaches, when you learn you must face them alone.
