Doesn't he say that one "set" was put away, rather than a "deck"? This is from the first post: "Capitol ran two tape decks for this recording (and others). One set was assembled and used many 100s of times. The other was put away [...]"

Yeah, but "landmark recording that will cement his place in the pantheon of jazz greats"?  With all those singers, etc?

53 minute continuous piece / recency bias but one of the greatest sets I’ve ever witnessed. The intensity & power of this trio is boundless. Ches’ electronics were deeper & heavier than last week & David played the disruptor as well as being even grittier than last week. Wowza.
