A 4.6-second dropout due to a change in recording media was replaced with a splice from the mp3 live stream at 4:08 into Track 4.

Note: 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 affect Track 8 for about 10 seconds or so, beginning about 5:30 into the song. The glitches in this track COULD NOT be repaired as I had no clean source to draw from.

A long (1:20) station ID was removed about 7:06 into Track 4.
