Grand Street Recording

ken rich’s grand street recording is a second-​to-​none recording studio in new york city, which by extension makes it a second-​to-​none recording studio nationwide. ken’s obvious, innate recording and listening talent combined with the love that he puts into every project amounts to a recording studio with limitless possibilities for musicians of every genre.
it also doesn’t hurt that ken’s buddies, some of the world’s most sought-​after musicians, leave massive piles of amazing gear in storage there, and this quid-​pro-​quo is passed onto the client. bonus!
i’ve done a handful of sessions at grand street as both a sideman and a leader, and every time, the result was the same: ken was the first one there and the last to leave. he had a positive attitude the whole time, we got the drums up and miked quickly, and he didn’t spend half the session checking his email or texting people. in today’s recording environment, that’s freaking HUGE.
please take your money and give it to ken so that he can make you sound really great. you won’t regret it.

I’ve done a fair amount of recording at Grand Street this past year, tracking trombone for a bunch of different musical projects, and I have to say that it is one of my favorite places to record. Ken has fantastic ears and ideas and he works SO FAST. I probably end up recording what would take 90 min or even two hours in about an hour while working with Ken and it always sounds great. There is never any waiting for him to set things up or find the right spot to cue you in which lets you just concentrate on making music (and that also makes things much cheaper for whoever is paying for the studio time… more bang for your buck… you can’t argue with that!). Highly recommended!

Working with Ken was one of the most rewarding feelings I’ve ever had musically. I knew everything we were doing was on the path to making a great album. I especially appreciated the supportive collaboration the most finding you to be very easy to work with.
