Boogers the Cat - Hey Boogers!!! As the song says, he might catch a mouse, but he'll never smell a rat.

Earwax can clog up your devices too, not just your ears. So clean them regularly and go to your provider equally regularly to have them do the detailed work. Where I went/go, it's free and as often as you like.

So he did fuck it up then, if it was distorted or otherwise not accurate That note was meant to be a scientific honk. Yusef made it the way he wanted it. That was his job. Rudy's job was to capture it the way that Yusef played it and the get it into a record. Mikes are stupid, actually. No matter how good they are, they'll only be as good as the people operating them on the other end. Or are you saying that RVG didn't fuck it up and that subsequent mastering have done so by taming it? If so, then shame on them!

Is the BN shop the only place from which to preorder this?

Yusef made that note like that. Kudos to Rudy for not fucking it up! Yusef really REALLY understood the deep mechanics of the sounds of all of his instruments. He doesn't get enough credit for that, imo. Not just for what he did, but also just how damn well he did it. The tone was always full from top to bottom, the timbres were always even, and the pitch was always perfect. The guy was totally a virtuoso of sound. Totally.

I have another record on that label. They seem to have a bit of a catalog, all of it being local/ Midwestern trad bands. If one had the means and the inclination, one could probably get a really good picture of that particular sub-subset. That might be fun?

Sound like he's overblowing the low (tenor) C to get the overtones as a multiphonic. It's done by a combination of embouchure and air column. It's also the result of studied application of both. Overtone control to this degree is one of the more "advanced/basics" of developing a really strong embouchure and breath control. Simply put, any note on the horn will have overtones that can be provided by overblowing and/or redirecting the airflow by constricting the embouchure. Learn to control that and then you can get additional overtones to speak together as a multiphonic. Now, there might be an alternate fingering involved, something to split the fundamental up into the overtones. I myself can't speak with any certainty about this other than to say that when dealing with the low tones, pretty anything, especially right hand side keys, can be used to disrupt the airflow and therefore the fundamental. This begins as a basic matter of saxophone sound production but it really all comes down to the acoustic properties of a conical bore instrument and the nodes for each note. For that, I can't help you!

I noticed the fuss in the late 60s/early 70s but didn't follow that music then. With his recent passing, the better obits make mention of his contributions and some of the controversies about his conducting. Anybody here have any thoughts?

I got a set of Phonaks with lots of bells and whistles, BluTooth and multiple/adjustable EQ presets being the most useful. Got them before retirement, so insurance paid a good portion of the cost, allowing me to put in some of my own funds for the extras. I can say without hesitation that they have improved my quality of life, including listening to records. But even more importantly, my granddaughter does not come with EQ. And that's the best sound there is!

That arrangement is genius...

Barbi Benton, Jess Stacy, Marty Allen, and of course, the pipe.

This ain't bad.

A Rushing Mosaic would be great too!

There it is.

That may or may not be a more common practice than is being let on?

The real Ray Abrams had a distinctively shaped head.

Type louder, please.

Not too long ago, this bootleg got released, very light on content! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Hall_'71

The whole thing was broadcast live on NPR, so I'm sure that recorded documentation, official and otherwise, exists.
