A 1991 "live" recording at (the long gone) Kimball's East in Oakland.  The liner notes say it was recorded and produced by the late Bud Spangler, so I assume it was originally used for his radio show that featured recordings (many made by him) of SF area jazz concerts.

Just released today: a twofer of two Impulse LPs not on cd before, Ornette Coleman "Ornette at 12" and "Crisis."

A report on sound quality would be useful. IIRC the LP issue of "Crisis" (and perhaps of "Ornette at 12" too -- pretty sure I still have both)  was no prize soundwise, although the music was a prize indeed. In particular, again IIRC, "Crisis" was recorded from the audience at a concert.

[jazzbo]

The mastering is imo very good. You're going to get the sound of the LPs well presented on cd. Ornette at 12 sounds quite good. Crisis sounds like you remember, boomy concert sound, horns in one channel, echoing drums in another, bass sort of blobbing in the center.
