SUMMARY
Featuring Neil Larsen, Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip and Tom Brechtein, Orbit was recorded and mixed live during the performance featuring Straight Ahead Record's "All Live" style with proprietary equipment.
"The concept for Straight Ahead Records' sound is the result of many years of listening to recordings from the beginning of high fidelity sound, to the advent of stereo recordings, and to the present. Over these fifty years, many recordings stood out, capturing a realism and naturalness that moved you into their environment with the sense that you could touch the instruments. This elusive magic that some recordings have is not at all easy to create. The problem lies in the delicacy and complexity of an audio signal and how subtle losses or distortion in a recording affect the credibility of the environment that is presented to the listener. These factors of clean natural sound and a plausible environment are essential to capturing the essence of being there as it is happening. This is what Straight Ahead Records is all about." - Bernie Grundman
