Get Bill: Bill Savory and the Heroics of Sound, with Doug Pomeroy

7:00 – 8:30pm

Location: The National Jazz Museum In Harlem

When the NJMH acquired the Savory Collection in 2010, it was almost a Pyrrhic victory; many of most important items were in a terrible state of decomposition. Fabled sound engineer Doug Pomeroy agreed to come out of retirement to rescue these historic sounds from oblivion. Join us as Doug reveals some of the secrets of his trade – his passion for what he does promises to make this an unforgettable night; we’ll listen to before and after recordings to illustrate the points.
