Eddie Brackett - Engineer of Great Recordings

[makpjazz57]

Anybody know if Eddie Bracket is still with us?

I've been loading my CDs into my iPOD and just loaded one of my all time favorite male vocalist/big band CDs - Sammy Davis, Jr. & Buddy Rich and his big band - Sounds of '66 recorded live in Las Vegas. I did a google search and found out. for instance, that Brackett won a Grammy for his engineering on Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" recording. Also did engineering for Armstrong, Streisand, others.

I would give at least one paycheck to have been in the audience the night "Sounds of '66" was recorded. Another favorite is "Sinatra at the Sands" with the Basie band. The 60's sure were great years for vocalists and big bands.
