Torrent #233103 John Coltrane Quintet at The Down Beat Jazz Festival REMASTERED !!! August 15, 1965

********************************************************************



The great problem concerning this concert was the 'Metallic' noise in the background
so I decided to use Audacity LOW PASS FILTER
And it worked ! though I must admit that the sound now is much 'closed' than before

The first 4 tracks are the concert without the filtering
I would like to know your opinions

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to the first version of this Torrent:

In Losin the track is 37:27
My timing before remastering was 36:54
The timing differences are due to my cuts since there were lots of noises
in particular:
at the beginning of the track -
at the beginning of the piano solo -
during the bass solo (between 4:20-4:40)
and at the very end of the track I cut 10" of silence after the announcement.


The track begins with Trane exposing the theme (I think we miss some 2-3").
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I did Now:

First 4 tracks :

Some minor noise removal in track 2 and 4
a more important cleaning of the bass solo !!!
Nothing was done to track 1 (the Shepp solo )


UNKNOWN TITLE
it was believed to be Nature Boy but it is not.
at the very end Trane after the closing Theme quotes the Theme of Ascension.

01 Theme - Shepp Solo 12:59
02 Piano Solo 06:57
03 Bass Solo 05:52
04 Trane Solo - Theme- Ascension Theme 10:10
(with announcement the last 10'')

TT 35:59

Last 4 tracks :

Of Course it is the very same concert
I passed the tracks above with the 'LOW PASS FILTER'of Audacity
to partially eliminate the Metal noise in the background
that can be heard all along the recording

I think that the result is acceptable -
IMHO the bass solo is far better than before
while the other tracks suffer a bit form this kind of "closed" sound they have now




11 Theme - Shepp Solo with low pass 12:59
12 Piano Solo with low pass 06:57
13 Bass Solo with low pass 05:52
14 Trane Solo - Theme- Ascension Theme with low pass 10:10
(with announcement the last 10'')

TT 35:59

Enjoy
