Rudy Van Gelder recording / Englewood Cliffs, NJ

All of the following compositions were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs.



One of the most famous recording studios of all time and an official National Historic Place, the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs has been operating since July 1959 (when Rudy left his Hackensack studio) and has been the site of monumental recordings such as “A Love Supreme,” "Soul Station," "Una Mas" and "Page One." From its opening until his passing in 2016, Rudy Van Gelder recorded, mixed, and mastered each of the thousands of sessions (with help from Maureen Sickler starting in 1986) that unfolded within the studio’s cathedral-like interior, combining the techniques he refined in Hackensack with the awe-inspiring acoustics of the studio to forge the signature “Van Gelder Sound” that rings clear to this day.
