The Fourth Dimension in Sound (subtitled A Musical Experiment in the Adaptation of Instruments to Modern Electronics ) is an album by bandleader and arranger
Shorty Rogers recorded in late 1961 and released on the
Warner Bros. label.
[1]
[2] The album was produced principally as a
stereo test and demonstration record to be used by hi-fi enthusiasts to test the performance of their
audio systems .
Reception
The
Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "As was true of many records from the early 1960s, the emphasis on this out-of-print Lp (especially in the lengthy liner notes) is on the stereophonic sound rather than the music. ... The music is better than the liner notes (which spend most of their time describing the sound) lets on but is not all that significant, emphasizing swing standards along with an occasional Latin novelty."
