Columbia Recording Studios [30th Street NYC]

Columbia Records’ legendary 30th Street Studio in New York City nicknamed “The Church” was a soaring former Presbyterian church whose remarkable acoustics made it one of the most revered recording spaces in music history. It was here that, most famously, Miles Davis recorded Kind of Blue in 1959, capturing its spacious, intimate sound in the studio’s vast 50 foot high room. The same sanctuary like space also hosted sessions by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, whose 1950s–60s recordings further cemented the studio’s status as a creative landmark.
