Ellen Christi Quartet: From the Archives, 1998

This amazing archived concert features the Ellen Christi Quartet (and a much younger Tom Kohn!) performing at Bop Shop Records’ atrium. The audio was digitally recorded on May 22nd, 1998 using Matthew D. Guarnere's binaural head in tandem with other multitrack sources onto ADAT tape.

The video — a basic VHS reference tape — was only recently discovered. In June of 2020, Guarnere remixed the soundtrack in hopes that it would synchronize with the video. Incredibly, it did so frame by frame! So please enjoy this rare, long-awaited concert from 22 years ago which has now been optimized for your eyes as well as your ears!


Enjoy a virtual front row seat to some of Bop Shop Records’ hottest performances of the past on Jazz90.1 WGMC in Rochester, NY. “Bop Shop Live” is hosted by Dan Gross.
