Set I only. Set II appears to have been recorded at 32kHz and awaits playback on a suitable deck or troubleshooting some day.

Performed on what would have been DG's 78's birthday, organized by Jazz Forum Arts Presents. Tickets were $25.00. The core band (West, Roker, Harris) is joined by a rotating cast of trumpet virtuoso's and other musicians. Hopefully, it's clear who's on stage during which songs.

The trumpets and the audience can be quite loud compared to the rest of the recording. Ozone 9 was used to bring the trumpets down a little and enhance everything else.

Enjoy!
