George Chkiantz
George Chkiantz was a recording engineer in London who was responsible for the engineering on a number of well-known albums, many of which are considered classic, owing in part to the high-quality of the recordings.
Chkiantz was the recording engineer of The Small Faces There Are But Four Small Faces at Olympic Studios while the Jimi Hendrix Experience was recording Axis: Bold As Love. During the session with the Small Faces, Chkiantz engineered the song Green Circles, which represented the first use of mono phasing on a pop record.
Upon hearing the result, Jimi Hendrix and his egineer, Eddie Kramer applied Chkiantz's concepts, creating stereo phasing on the songs Bold As Love and Little Wing.[1]
