I've heard the Joe Brazil stuff. Believe me when I tell you that I've got a very high tolerance for low-quality bootleg sound. Also believe me when I tell you that this stuff is damn near unlistenable.

It's one of those things that you think you want until you hear it. Trust me.

Agree with Sangrey on all points, re: the Joe Brazil thing with Joe and Trane.

Much as I appreciated getting this from another board member quite some time ago, it really is just about THE most unlistenable thing I've ever personally heard, in my entire life --- and like Jim, I can normally tolerate bad "bootleg"-quality sound quite well.

(This is about 500 times worse than the worst-sounding bootleg I've ever heard -- and that's probably putting it mildly.)

Sorry to hear that the sound is so bad on the Coltrane/Henderson recordings... has anyone heard the session quoted above? That is a pretty interesting/surprising lineup of tenors.

This was up on Dime not too long ago after someone did their best to improve the fidelity. I didn't download though since I'd already done what I could and it really doesn't help to put lipstick on a pig, but some people seemed pleased with the results.

Bird with Dizzy Gillespie's big band? I sampled a Stash CD that had that recording in a record shop in the 90s. I could hear a lot of noise and perhaps there were some faint hints of music somewhere behind it. I didn't buy it and I don't think bad sound has stopped me from buying any Bird otherwise.

Yeah, those tracks was just as you say, if not worse! But there was some other material on there not that bad...
