I seem to recall that this session was recorded at the L.A. Police Academy in Chavez Ravine, but seeking out a copy of one of the volumes on Ebay the liner note credits Contemporary's studio at 8481 Melrose. Maybe I'm thinking of another one of Koenig's sessions?

I think it was first Hawes trio album that was recorded at the Police Academy. IIRC the Cy Touff Pacific Jazz album was recorded there too. Good sound in that auditorium.

You're right. Just read the liner notes to C3505, Hawes first album for Koenig. I do not believe that Dick Bock recorded at the Police Academy. I write about two other venues, The Forum and Music Box Theaters, that Bock used frequently in my post about the Touff/Kamuca sessions:
