(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- On February 19, 2018 blues guitar legend Billy Hector and an outstanding line up comprised of Sim Cain on drums, Winston Roye on bass, David Nunez on keys, Tommy La Bella on tenor sax, Steve Jankowski on trumpet, and John Martin on baritone saxophone delivered a blistering, high spirited performance at the Saint in Asbury Park tempered only by a graceful guest appearance by the lovely Suzan Elle on lead vocals for the enchanting ballad "Wild Heart".
Recorded by 3X GRAMMY award winning engineer Tom Ruff, mixed and mastered for Dolby Atmos by James Sleeman, and mastered in stereo by Tim Pannella at Asbury Media, this live release truly illustrates a legendary musician at the height of his musical prowess. From his heartfelt vocals, understated but assured stage presence, sultry strat riffs and fiery slide outbursts, Billy Hector proves yet again why he is so highly regarded and venerated.
Sadly the Saint has recently closed its doors on Main Street in Asbury Park, but thanks to the immersive sound capability of Dolby Atmos, discerning music fans can relive one glorious night again and again.
“With 93% of artists highlighted in Billboard's 2024 Top 100 Artists having released music in Dolby Atmos, and Apple Music paying a 10% higher royalty rate for spatial audio releases, and the availability of exceptional live recording and Dolby Atmos mastering available locally via Asbury Media, we realized it was an opportune time for AERIA Records to resume its contributions to Asbury Park, NJ music scene ever expanding cultural legacy. We could not think of a better place to start! Helping preserve and promote this aural time piece of Billy Hector raising the roof with his trusty strat in spatial sound is what we are all about..” - AERIA Records
