Collection of Tim Blickhan
An early experiment involving sound and food. Tim's recollection of this recording:
"The Café concert recording was made by Jan Bach at his table. His dinner party consisted of Jan Bach, his daughters Eva and Dawn, and Paul Steg."
It is notable that the concert involved the use of recording equipment and skirted the usual School of Music prohibition of recording equipment. The phrase de riguer for recital programs was "The use of cameras or personal tape recorders during performances is expressly prohibited." The Neoteric would flout this routinely throughout their first decade.
