I have that 2008 Porter CD and consider the sound pretty good. I never heard the original release. It's an excellent album.
I have quite a few Ted Daniel CDs. In my experience, the ones with the black covers on Ujamaa (I own the "Sextet" and "Loft Years" but not the solo release from Italy) have dodgy sound but others are OK.
I'm slow to catch on as usual, just noticed this has been reissued and is on Dusty Groove's (USA) "Coming Soon" list
Also, I finally ordered Keith Tippett's How Long This Time after fence-sitting and missing a couple of low-postage chances.
This Renaissance polyphony disc is up for grabs, free USA postage. Mistaken purchase: I got it from BRO a few years ago but already had practically all the contents in a (very good) box set.

Thanks for posting!
For sure. I once had memorized extended periods of dialogue, but that's faded over the years.
I've also seen all the later "mockumentaries" by the same group. Best In Show being the favorite (next to Spinal Tap, of course).
Thanks, I might try that later.
Also this, though "jazz" is used figuratively:
But right now I'm listening to
Discs 1-3 (various/Dufay, Dufay, Dufay), 4 (Binchois/Ockeghem). This is a good set.
The timeline isn't that clear to me. Some earlier recordings are straight-ahead, and some later works are extremely abrasive / noisy. But I'm not sure his style followed a smooth trajectory, because the dates of certain "conventional" and "weird" recordings are really close together.
Granted I've so far shied away from the noisiest material such as Mass Hysterism, 😉 and don't have very many recordings.
