Behind the Savory Collection and Into the Studio

October 27th, 2010 by Chris Prentice

It may have taken a while to get Douglas Pomeroy to agree to clean up and digitize Bill Savory’s recordings, but it did not take a lot: Pomeroy needed to hear just one never-before-heard recording to know he had to take the job.

The audio engineer got his start in New York City at Columbia Records. And now he is all but retired.  The Savory Collection is no simple task, and he is still just a third into the project, sometimes spending hours each day on one single song.

Reporters Chika Moses and Chris Prentice got a rare treat: Pomeroy let them into his studio to see just how complicated the process of reclaiming old recordings can be, to better under the magic behind the process.

Check out the slideshow below to find out more about Pomeroy’s life’s work.
