notes:
-another one from my cassette archives that hasn't circulated widely ever, that's now been digitalized and put on my hard drive. Got this one from an old
trader in Philly/Delaware area. Him and his friend used to tape alot of what they went to see in Philly, but on lousy equipment - still, they captured
some nice shows over the years, were rabid enough fans that they could even figure out the setlists, and were greatly appreciative of jazz artists.
-the quality on this one is NOT as good as any of the other 5 I seeded recently. Basically, lousy equipment, thus very little range. It IS listenable
too however and can be enjoyed. I give it a "B" on my rating scale: fair, but listenable.
-there's an abrupt cut in the opening Improv and it comes back in during a tune, which is either "Fanfare" or "Discipline 27" according to the notes, so
there's some music missing there. The beginning couple minutes of "Mack the Knife" is missing due to tape flip; ditto with "Drop Me Off in Harlem".
-otherwise, this is a good, solid show performance wise: not totally smokin', but not somber/mellow either.
-since my buddy was at the show, I trust the date - did not see it listed on web. The band member list is taken from other shows done in June 1984 and
may be incomplete/slightly inaccurate.
-digitalized, re-mastered and seeded by matt23.
