Jazz Recording Studio

Where tradition meets innovation in professional jazz recording

The Language of Jazz

Jazz has a unique language and legacy that is all its own. At Blue House Productions Recording Studio we believe that your project should be recorded by engineers who know, and speak, the language of jazz. Being well versed in the history of jazz helps us to create the recording you desire. From knowing what the "head" or "turnaround" is, to actually knowing the chord changes, we feel this is the very least you should expect from an audio engineer.
