RE: recordings - my one cents worth

[Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky <yiddish...>]

Quincy Jones is known for his producing of Sinatra records.  I guess he is 
still using the same technique of using a live audience for making it sound 
fresh and immediate.

Interestingly enough that was the same technique Frank Sinatra used on many 
of his recordings -singing in front of an invited studio audience. 
Admittedly
mostly comprised of his cronies and 'clack' - but it sure made for
spontaneity and energy.
