Vol.1 The Quintet

Album US 1954 on Contemporary Records label
Jazz (Cool Jazz, Bop)

First catalogue number on front cover, second on labels, third on rear cover. Front cover lists album title as "Vol. 1 The Quintet". Rear cover lists title as "Vol. I: The Quintet". Labels list title simply as "Lennie Niehaus". Deep groove. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, July 2, 1954 (A3,A4,B2,B4) and July 9, 1954 (A1,A2,B1,B3) 'This is a high fidelity album which reproduces the full audible range of the music. An extremely natural sound is obtained by the use of the microphone, the new AKG (Akustische und Kinogerate), made in Austria in 1954. This is believed to be its first use for a jazz date. The AKG, a condensor microphone, is characterized by an almost flat response from 30 to 15,000 cycles. Custom made, noise-free, vinylite pressings insure accurate reproduction on high fidelity equipment. For best results use the new RIAA (equivalent to NARTB) standard playback curve' (rear sleeve).
