Great job, gentlemen. KG nerding out about tape formulations and showing some of his favorite records, among other things, were all unprecedented in relation to the many KG interviews now on YT
I thought the tape convo was very interesting as well, and gave me some food for thought with all the old ampex tapes I have of my Dad's. Thanks for your support! - Chris
It occurred to me that it would be easy to trick Kevin into talking about upcoming titles just by saying "So Kevin, what was it like to cut Mal Waldron - The Quest for the new OJC?" and he'd either say "Oh, did they announce that?" or "I don't think that was me" and you'd have your answer. Except that would be a crappy thing to do and he'd never come back on.
Just ordered off Discogs from NZ Anthony Wilson Nonet album Kevin spoke about - I’m in Australia and it was the cheapest by far for me. Looking forward to this, if KG is impressed by it, thats good enough for me!
Great interview Felipe. You asked many of the questions a lot of Kevin Grey fans want to see answered. That's great you got Kevin for the interview, he's always interesting to see talk about his career. I was listening to one of his latest, Bill Evans Waltz For Debby on Craft OJC - awesome sounding album. BTW, one of my fav Stanley Turrentine albums is a CTI title, Sugar. Ron Carter is the man on that record.
Great job guys. I have already watched a bunch of Kevin Gray interviews and this one still came out as fresh. My only complaint that I wish it was longer so we could continue the geekfest.
Seen quite a few UA-cam videos with Kevin the last couple of years. This one was the best. Thank you! And I’m lucky I already had the Anthony Wilson album he recommended. ✌️ It’s a great one. Cut by Bernie.
Chris saying that when he buys a Tone Poet or OJC he won't ever have to buy another copy is the same way I feel when I find a clean Liberty pressing with RVG mastering. I file those clean early pressings away for life.
This is indeed why the VC is such a great place to be in the year of our Lord 2023. To think that a man of his talent finds the time to kick it with us. Woww. and he listens to K-Jazz, just like me. Lets Cherish him while we have him. Great interview.. I know have about five Waltz for Debby's.. lol We gotta support his work and let him know how much we Love him, while we have him. thx team.
Great interview guys!!! Next time maybe you could as Kevin Gray if he's considering (or planning) to do a direct-to-disc recording. He mentions this in the notes to the Kirsten Ekstein release. Thanks for your good work 👍
Another great interview gentlemen congratulations. And.....you kinda got Kevin to confirm the slightly unofficial news about The Cats! I was surprised that Mike didn’t ask him about Bill Evans and Tony Bennett 😂
The Jazz Bums hitting the ball out of the park with this interview. Excellent chat with the great Kevin Gray. Thank you, doods!! Loving the channel. Next up, we need a Don Was convo 🤝
Great video guys, I always appreciate it when Kevin does a deep guide into his gear. And what an amazing deal on his Studer C37!! With any luck he’ll get his wish on cutting some Beatles and Stones!
Every record I’ve ever heard mastered by Kevin Gray was distorted and sibilant when listened to on headphones. He seems nice and I’m grateful that he was around after RVGs passing to bring old Blue Note albums to the masses. But I hope his masters get better 🙏
great interview! Mike: I had the opportunity to compare that same Saxophone Colossus (Craft) with the AP on a high end system, and they sound virtually identical.
Bullfight Music ! That has to be some kind of first. Great interview. I wish I had a fraction of this guys energy. Like a lot of other fans I need to know when this man sleeps.
Who the hell has discord notification sounds going off the whole time? You should all be wearing headphones or muting your microphones when you’re not speaking - we can hear feedback throughout this
KG is a man of the people. What a generous guy.
Can't wait for more vinyl to come out of Kevin Gray's all tube studio. Exceptional sound quality that sets a new standard.

Best interview I’ve seen yet with Kevin! Bravo gentlemen

Sugar is great. I am looking forward to more releases in the OJC series. The two I have so far are top notch. - Chris
You guys keep doing it and getting better and better with your show and channel :)
Not Rev’s standard, but we try hard lol
Great job guys. I have already watched a bunch of Kevin Gray interviews and this one still came out as fresh. My only complaint that I wish it was longer so we could continue the geekfest.
That’s the goal, glad that you liked it

Thanks! That’s the idea and quite happy that you liked it! Fresh look into things is always what we aim for
Always a treat with KG! Thanks guys for putting this together!
Our pleasure! - Chris
Extremely informative video. Salute the Jazz Bums!
That was great guys. I could listen to Kevin tell stories for hours.
How can a man that famous be so humble. He kills me on each interview ❤

We can ask him that for sure next time. Thanks for watching! - Chris

Lol
Great interview bums. You did a great job of getting Kevin to open up and tell some stories. Nice peace offeing with the KE album in the background.
You guys are killing it! Fantastic interview. Excellent questions. Thank you, Mike, Felipe, Chris, and Kevin.
Thanks, Nick!
Great show. Just amazing. ❤❤❤🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Lee Morgan's The Procrastinator??
Awesome awesome awesome interview. Well done, guys.
We had a great time with Kevin - Chris

Thanks for watching! We would love to talk to Don! - Chris
This was so interesting! Thanks a million.
Thanks for watching - Chris
Wonderful. Good questions and stories from KG Love to see a living room used for something as good as this. Thank you kevin and the Bums ✌🏻
Time to setup a recording studio in your living room Mazzy. You can finally get that horribly offensive tv away from your speakers! - Chris
Great interview guys!
Great video guys, I always appreciate it when Kevin does a deep guide into his gear. And what an amazing deal on his Studer C37!! With any luck he’ll get his wish on cutting some Beatles and Stones!
You bet! I really enjoyed those details of his setup even though I don't fully understand them lol. - Chris
Great job guys. Always a delight to hear Kevin Gray.
Thanks for watching! - Chris
Thanks for doing this, it was very entertaining and informational. You guys obviously did your homework and prepped for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great structure to the interview with a lovely rhythm and flow to the questions and banter. Nice work, Bums + KG!
Thanks! We had a great time
Thanks for the heads up on the Anthony Wilson, the usual suspects were out, but got the last copy Come Back Vinyl had…….at a nice discount.
Great interview gentlemen ✊🏼
Thanks, Bob! He’s a great person to talk to, and we tried a different approach, glad it worked

He won’t stop, great for us!

Great job guys. Lovely interview. KG Mastering 380 Albums a year . Don’t tell the wife 🙈
Wonderful interview, thank you all! What was that classical record Mike showed around the 50’ mark?
Beethoven, Zino Francescatti, Robert Casadesus - Sonata No. 9 ("Kreutzer") · Sonata No. 1, Speakers Corner, 2016 -- Mike
Really enjoyed this boys. Relatable and interesting both. Definitely favorite of the KG interviews I've seen on UA-cam.
Thanks,, Chance!
Chris! Where’d you get the Sonny Clark T?
I believe it was one of the Uniglo collabs shirts with Blue Note - Chris
thanks for this guys!
