Beltone Studios, Recording studio in Broadway, Manhattan, US
Beltone Studios was a recording facility located in a multi-story building on Broadway in Manhattan, outfitted with professional equipment and multiple isolation booths for sound recording. The space operated with full capabilities for recording, mixing, and mastering music productions.
The studio gained importance in 1953 when Miles Davis recorded sections of his album 'Miles Davis and Horns' there, establishing its reputation. Over the following years, it became a key recording center for jazz and rhythm and blues musicians.
The location played a key role in rhythm and blues history, particularly through recordings by The Crows whose song 'Gee' was made here. This connection helped shape how musicians and listeners viewed this space within New York's music community.
The studio was situated near multiple subway stations and bus stops in Manhattan, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors could reach the location without difficulty using the city's transit system.
In 1960, the studio launched its own record label, Beltone Records, to release recordings produced within its facilities. This expansion showed how it moved beyond just providing studio space to directly supporting artists and their releases.
