To keep spirits up while the studios are quieter than normal, we’re bringing back some of our favorite projects, stories, and collaborations. #TBT this week comes courtesy of the The Travel Channel and “No Reservations”.

On our previous #TBT, we linked to an old favorite feature in the NYTimes that has some choice quotes from our founder, Al Houghton. The spotlight this week is on just about the furthest thing from bands recording in practice rooms: an intimate recording with multiple-Grammy-award-winning artist Nora Jones for the 2011 Christmas Special episode of the great Anthony Bourdain’s hit show, No Reservations.

In the scene, Jones sings “Silent Night” at the Ace Hotel’s piano for an empty bar, save for Bourdain (and the audio and camera crews). The recording took place on location and was mixed by the Dubway team before being incorporated into the show’s final mix.

You can check out this section of the episode here, and hear about the most recent recording we did with Nora Jones here.
