Label and recording studio in Boston, located at 1 Boylston Place. This was also the address of Ace Recording Studios, which was owned by Milton and Herbert Yakus, with William F. Ferruzzi as chief engineer.

Acewas a pioneering commercial recording facility. It opened in 1946 and was the very first major independent recording studio in New England.

Milton Yakus was an independent producer who booked on-air musical acts and produced radio shows for local Boston stations.

Herb Yakus was an amateur saxophonist with a deep love for the big-band era.

William F. Ferruzzi served as the studio’s longtime chief engineer.

The studio was strategically located at the end of a dead-end alley on Boylston Place. This placed it right in the heart of Boston's historic "Piano Row," an area packed with shops selling musical instruments, pianos, and organs.

For its time, Ace Recording Studios offered unmatched technical scale in the region: The live tracking room was massive, specifically built large enough to hold a full 40-piece orchestra. It also featured a custom-designed acoustic echo chamber to create high-quality, natural reverb on vocal and instrumental tracks
