Two and a half hours of jazz and New Orleans funk. What a lineup! The tracking is for convenience, mostly. The music contains frequent drum solos & duets, bass solos, drum and bass duets (or trios) with the occasional complete song thrown in.

Unfortunately, the levels are quite high, but Ozone 9 declipped it nicely. A few seconds of mic cable static at the beginning have been removed by copying the right channel over the left.

Enjoy!
