yea dog until recently esp w/ blue note but other labels too i didnt realise just how much of my favorite hard bop is "bitches brew" style edited. i first started realising it when the mobley mosaic had a whole screwy set of peraramaters for one session.....then more recently in a bob cranshaw interview, he goes thru the recording process of 'the sidewinder', were the use of editing factored big in his story. did this start in the mid 50s? if you go back a little further i dont think they did this, no? like say on jazz lps 1950-55,
