State Of Art

State of Art, formerly known as SOA Studios or State Of Art Studio, was a renowned recording studio located in Easton, Bristol, UK. Founded by Julian Hill in 1991, the studio initially offered recording services and rehearsal rooms. With talented engineers like Julian Hill, Shaun Atkins, and Dave McDonald (2), it quickly gained recognition.

In 1997, Geoff Barrow from Portishead became a part-owner of the studio, leading to its privatization for a period. Following an extensive equipment upgrade in late 1999, State of Art reopened its doors to the public under the management of Stuart Matthews and chief engineer Rick Dowding.

Though now defunct and transformed into Invada Studios based in Bedminster district of Bristol, State of Art's legacy lives on through its contributions to the music industry.

State of Art

Dave Brubeck was an American jazz pianist and composer. He was born on 6 December 1920 in Concord, California, USA and passed away on 5 December 2012 in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Brubeck was a renowned musician known for his contributions to the jazz genre. He was also the younger brother of a well-known composer.

With the popularization of bossa nova in the early '60s, practically every recording artist had to have at least one bossa nova album. This effort by the Dave Brubeck Quartet is better than most due to the high quality of the compositions, of which the title cut is best-known. The date's two standards ("This Can't Be Love" and "Trolley Song") also fare well on this upbeat session. Since 1955, Brubeck had composed and performed pieces originating from influences outside of the European musical tradition, in which this album, released during the bossa nova craze in the United States of the late 1950s and early 1960s, can be best categorized as "impressionistic" of "the cool wave from Brazil. Recorded through most of 1962, and released early in 1963, the album was designed to be effective on the pop charts.
