Notes
This LD was released in Japan as a CTI All Stars session (as shown on the OBI strip).
Rhythmstick was filmed utilizing three Sony High Definition cameras, becoming the first HD LaserDisc in jazz history. The audio signals were recorded on 24-track Sony digital equipment, and mixed to a 2-track master which has remained in the digital format through all the transfers to the final audio mix. That was the first CTI project recorded on multi-track digital equipment, as well as the first multi-track digital session recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, who, prior to Rhythmstick, had done several digital sessions recorded directly to a 2-track machine.
Curiously, five years earlier, in January 1984, Creed and Van Gelder had collaborated on the first CTI digital session ever, Claudio Roditi's Red on Red, recorded live at Rudy's with a 2-track Mitsubishi equipment.
