Some time ago, this show was seeded as part of a larger torrent with Trane's Birdland recordings from 1962/63: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=123061

This particular show was quite unlistenable because of heavy 60 Hz hum. I received this show earlier in a trade and did some filtering. Now I find it quite listenable (B quality).

For those who are interested in the details:
trade -> EAC -> Cool Edit -> (Left Channel -> Both) -> notch filtering (Super Narrow): 60 Hz, 120 Hz, 180 Hz -> FFT filter cut off everything above 6000 Hz (there was no music signal above there anyway).
No noise filter has been used.
