The “Dangerous Room” at the Flux Recording Studios in the East Village is named after Dangerous Music, the host of a Rolling Stones recording session there. I was there for a music panel awhile back, discussing the way forward for digital artists.
This room is very satisfying with its solid, honeyed tones in the architecture and the historic piano used in sessions.
It’s beat up but meticulously tuned, an 1895 Steinway Model A Parlor Grand about a decade younger than our ClockTower. You can have your very own in solid oak for about $55,000.
But this one's not for sale. SONY won’t allow an embed of this video and I’m sorry about the ad at the beginning.
But Ray Charles recording “BabyGrand” with Billy Joel, Bronx born by the way, is terrific once you get to him.
