As with Bill Cole’s previous appearance at Sangha, I used matched pair of small-diaphragm microphones set up about 15 feet from the stage. The larger band and small stage area created a bit of a challenge, so I used a wider pattern to capture all of the instruments. Fortunately, Sangha is a great recording space. There is little street noise and the audiences are usually quiet for these gigs.
