Before I had the ill-concieved brainteaser idea this was going to be called "How to Record a Jazz Trio with only 3 microphones".

I used a Lawson L47 on the piano, about a foot or so above the mid treble holes, Lawson L47 on the drums, facing him and AKG D12 on the bass, pointed at a spot just below the bridge.

The band was set up in a sort of semi-circle in a large room, Kaufmann Astoria Studio.

No signal processing or reverb was used, at all. The mics were run through an Ampex MX-35 straight to final tape: Ampex 351 1/2" at 30 ips. None of the studio electronics at KAS were used except as a monitor controller to listen to the music through the B&W 801s.
We don't need no stinkin' computer.

Very nice!
