notes:
-another from my archives, this is one of Wes' master recordings I am sure due to hearing his cheering on the tape, the abrupt cuts at the end of each tune
that he used to do to save tape, and the "sound" of his Aiwa recorder - this makes it a 2nd gen tape for me. Wes used to get a table as close as possible
and just put the Aiwa right on it and use the internal mics - he was not a quality buff at all - was happy if he could just listen to it 1-3 more times
again and likely never again - luckily a friend and me used to make copies. I used to be picky with his stuff because the sound just wasn't that great,
but this is still quite listenable to: in the "B+/B" range - it's clear, it's just low-quality Aiwa shit.
-this is a unique show: the wife of THE Mike Stern was taking guitar lessons at the time with Bill Frisell. It ended up turning into the her debut lp
"Clairvoyant" in 1985 with the above other three musicians and Bob Berg and Larry Willis, neither of whom are apparently at this gig. I'm assuming Harvie
Swartz in bassist. Most of the other tunes are likely from "Clairvoyant" also. To me, listening to this is almost like listening to two Frisells or
Frisell with Metheny - quite sweet, it flows along nicely as they trade leads and interweave with one and other. The rhythm section is spot on too and
gets some solos. Enjoy this rare gem!
-show just goes right off the end of my side B of my cassette, so there was more, but I doubt Wes got it - likely only had one cassette.
-mastered and seeded by matt23.
-please trade freely in lossless formats only. THERE IS NO RIGHT GRANTED TO SELL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
