Jimmy Douglass

I shot Jimmy for a JBL Pro ad. This is not the ad… That is coming soon, but I did a little portrait of him right afterward. He’s a recording engineer and a fascinating man with great stories, including one about helping Jimmy Page cut the guitar solo in Heart Breaker and making a mistake that Jimmy Page told him to leave in. He’s recorded everyone from Aretha Franklin to the last Justin Timberlake record. He’s now working on a surround sound mix of Justin’s record and using JBL monitors for that mix.
