Vanguard co-founder sat down with Yoni Kessler, an Vegas-based location recordist and audio engineer.

Yoni is an audio engineer, producer, composer and musician whose wealth of experience includes recording and mixing full orchestras and jazz bands in the Vegas area and elsewhere in the US. An accomplished sax man, Yoni has played with artists like Eric Marienthal, John Pattituci, Bernie Dressell, Joshua Lawrence and the Boston Brass among others, as well as mixing recordings for the aforementioned artists and many more.
