Davies really was a magician when it came to remastering

 

51FHQz3VGjL._SX355_.jpg

I loved John R.T., nicest guy ever - and he was able to transfer music in the best possible way - and the key, other than his expertise, was the sources he had. He and Brian Rust were able to  acquire test pressings and metal masters from sometimes mysterious sources (meaning someone spirited them out of certain places), clean sources in mint shape. The tragedy of American music is the loss of masters, from Victor, Okeh, Columbia - though some still exist, clueless engineers have no idea how to handle them (and also, note, that Davies, by the time of the above transfers, was using CEDAR digital noise reduction; he was no Luddite).

And the losses of the Deccas too. A real tragedy.

I just finished listening to this CD and discovered "Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me," present as track 18, is omitted from the track list and liner notes. Presumably recorded in November 1943 featuring Thelma Carpenter, according to my few minutes of online research.

Santana “Borboletta” Columbia LP

Love that album - Leon Patillo is great on it.  Saw that edition of the group at the Atlantic City Raceway in 1974, and they blew CSNY and Jesse Colin Young off the stage.  Incidentally, tickets were $10.  What would they go for now for that type of show?

Hep put out such great stuff.  And a Thelma Carpenter track, what a find! Alastair must have corrected it in a later run... I just checked my copy and it's listed.  Going to revisit later this evening, so thanks much for posting it.

Is there a date listed for it? I was thinking it sounded like Thelma Carpenter but I wasn’t sure.

Recorded @ Five Spot on July 16th, 1961 .... a proverbial "dream band" at work .... 

I must have it. I wanted to have it for a long time but have listened only to the track "Fire Waltz" since it is one of the tunes we do on concerts. If the rest is so good.....

It´s only the time, I must admit I haven´t had time to listen to a record since the end of february, with the exception of one record made by one of my fellow musicians. 

If I buy albums, it´s usually from my fellow musicians here in Austria. Times have changed a bit.

Fun stuff. This is supposed to be Curtis Fuller's recording debut but there is some debate as to the actual recording dates.

I wonder if the master tapes exist for this? I have the Japanese CDs and they don't sound that great. They sound better than the Fresh Sounds CDs but only a little. Has anyone heard the latest SHM-CD versions?

This morning lap dog won over laptop and I’m behind chronicling my listening.

I started off the day with disc 2 of the Fay Victor vocal project of Herbie Nichols compositions and it’s an excellent disc.

Followed by Wayne Escoffrey “Hopes and Dreams” cd on Savant Records.

Followed by Eliane Elias “Illusions” on Denon cd

Mal Waldron series I created myself. 12 volumes with something like 16 bootleg records. This one captures the ‘Seagulls’ group live in Switzerland.

Superb concert .... a shame this was not released officially ....
