Note: This set was NOT broadcast live on May 5 but was delayed until the following day (Sunday, May 6).

Several long station IDs or public service announcements in the middle of the rebroadcast were removed. As this was a rebroadcast, it appears that the replay of the show was paused during the station IDs and/or PSA. While no music was affected, some of the in-between song talking on stage was lost. I removed:
* 15 seconds at 2:20 into Track 1
* 29 seconds at 3:43 into Track 5
* 1:44 at 6:40 into Track 7

Many of the 2012 Jazzfest broadcasts, including this one, are marred by what sounds like hard-drive glitches - perhaps due to a fragmented drive or an overloaded processor on the PC used during the broadcast. The glitchiness was also present in the WWOZ online stream.

The glitches significantly mar Track 9, beginning with the first few notes and continuing nearly constantly beginning about 3:05 into the song until the end of the track. The glitches in this track COULD NOT be repaired as I had no clean source to draw from.

A few glitches in Track 11 were repaired manually by removing the bad spots (basically it's like a note that's been stretched; I removed the repeating samples). Two glitches were repaired: about 0.05 seconds at 5:35 into the track and about 0.02 seconds at 5:50.
