Danny Adler has rewritten Cincinnati music history. The native-Cincinnati musician secretly made a new recording in the long-defunct King Records studio, where so many classic R&B and C&W tracks were cut. By his account, it was like Indiana Jones entering a dark, forbidding, sacrosanct tomb – armed with an acoustic guitar.

Forty-one years after King in 1971 shut down its Brewster Avenue operations in Evanston, following the 1968 death of founder Syd Nathan, Adler brought it back to life for at least a few hours. He wanted to be the man who recorded the Last Session on Brewster. He had an assistant, audio and video engineer/producer Bill Gwynne, who was running LED spotlights, two cameras and portable sound equipment through a four-channel mixer connected by cable to his car’s cigarette lighter.

Adler got in by finding a key for the attached lock. He took care to find the exact place in the building, which housed several King operations, where the studio was. There, he and Gwynne erected a standing platform of old linoleum pieces, railroad ties and fallen acoustic tile so Adler could keep his feet out of water while playing. This was on an afternoon in October 2012. “This is probably, unfortunately, the last recording in King studios,” Adler spoke into the microphone, his voice carrying a slight echo: “I’m standing in what’s left of the old King studios in Cincinnati, Ohio.” He covered several R&B classics released by King in its 1940s-1960s heyday: Charles Brown’s “Please Come Home for Christmas,” the “5” Royales’ “Say It,” James Brown’s “Cold Sweat,” and Lonnie Johnson’s “Tomorrow Night.”
