medjuck Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 I just read this in a comment to a post on Richard Williams' "The Blue Moment" blog where he reviewed a new Scott LaFaro collection: "I just wanted say Scott LaFaro lovers should check out the remastered versions of the Village Vanguard recordings and also “Ornette!” and “Free Jazz a collective improvisation” on Werner Uehlinger’s ezz-thetics Revisited series.There is so much more to hear from LaFaro on these. Steve Beresford told me that the audience noise on the Vanguard recordings were added as post hoc sound effects because it was felt the recordings did not sound live enough." Does anyone here know anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted September 2 Report Share Posted September 2 “Remaster” is very much overstating the case. At best these are (well done, admittedly) amateur/independent tweakings of existing sources pressed to CD under the generous legalities of Swiss copyright. Your mileage may vary but I don’t at all consider them required listening unless you are really interested. I haven’t heard the Evans in particular, but I find it hard to believe there is a marked improvement over what’s been done many times over the years https://www.discogs.com/release/28183552-The-Bill-Evans-Trio-At-the-Village-Vanguard-1961-Revisited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
