Audio engineer Jim Anderson — a designation often shortened to “sound guy” or “sound man” — has a reputation for being one of the best in Seattle. Simply, he seems to care how bands sound in the Crocodile. Not just how bands sound to him, but how a band sounds to its own members, and also to audience attendants with opinions. Evinced with Anderson’s sincerity, this inclusive type of caring is exceedingly rare. He also has a reputation for his gigantic vault of live recordings, which are now all at the UW.
