remastering & info research by vanillag, 8/2020:
nolataper's source flac files > Traders Little Helper > Sound Forge 14 > Traders Little Helper > flac
--repaired DC offset; EQ'd each source to try to make them sound sonically similar; adjusted balance;
spliced sources together; manually combed through & repaired broadcast dropouts; removed clicks manually;
Wave Hammer plugin used to apply compression and limiting to reduce crowd noise between songs; fades
vanillag NOTES:
--This set was performed from 3:45pm-4:55pm.
--41th Annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
--Not sure I have all the players here correct, but that list is pretty darn close. For instance, I am fairly 100% about
everyone thru the trombone player, but those last 3 keyboard players are definitely in question. They did not have 4
keyboardists onstage. I believe they had 2 at most...definitely Earl Fleming & one of the other three at the bottom of that list.
--Finding the players for this incarnation of the band was not easy, to say the least. If anyone has further knowledge of
the band members & any players that I got wrong or am missing on that list, please let us know.
