EDDIE KRAMER Retrospective Being Held Today
December 14, 2007Did you know that there was one guy behind the sound of most of the classic rock records that came out of modern rock's first Golden Age (1967-1972)? His name was Eddie Kramer and we can in a large part, thank him for the sound of Jimi HENDRIX, THE ROLLING STONES, LED ZEPPELIN, SANTANA, KISS and dozens of others, including THE BEATLES. Eddie was the producer/engineer of so many classic rock records and recordings it's hard to imagine he accomplished so much in such a short amount of time.
But the greatness of Kramer doesn't stop at the music — Eddie photographed the moments in-between recording when the artists were listening back to their tracks for the first time. What exists in the Kramer Archives today are incredibly intimate shots of these legends hearing their songs for the first time and reacting to them in the moment- golden moments of creative inspiration.
Today (Friday, December 14),Eddie's contribution to music and pop culture is being celebrated at the Eddie Kramer Retrospect at Von Dutch LA (819 N La Brea, between Melrose and Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood). Kramer himself will be there to sign prints and share stories. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for true classic rock fans and candid photography fans. There will also be a very special surprise musical guest.
