The saxophonist heads a new generation of exciting and innovative musicians who have chosen to turn their talents to the demanding requirements of jazz music, in all its shapes and forms.
Courtney‘s mic of choice is sE Electronics; “My favourite, because it is so unique, is the sE Rupert Neve RNR1 Ribbon mic. I have just started to use it and found it to be truly remarkable… a real modern day classic… for recording woodwind there is simply no equal.”
“I use the sE4400a on every session I do nowadays. It’s incredibly flexible and durable, with honest and open characteristics. I’ve used it on pretty much everything, from Mandolin and Congas, to Triangle and acoustic Piano, and it recorded all those tones and frequencies perfectly without any fuss or bother.”On why he chooses sE he had this to say, “I’ve compared my sE mics to ‘classics’ which are three or four times the price and found them to easily stand up to and better those ‘old-school’ mic brands… sE mics are true modern day classics… they’re for people who care about music”
