Editing notes:
* I removed a 117-second station id with simulcast announcements at 9:56 into Track 3;
* A 0.1-second broadcast dropout at 2:00 into Track 7 was repaired with a 1.5-second splice from an identical passage;
* A -30db notch filter was used to remove the 19kHz FM pilot tone; and
* The entire recording was normalized by 1.83 db.


Notes:
There an open mic plus the stage feed mix dropped in volume for several seconds in Track 7;

I left an 11-second station ID intact at 3:58 into Track 7 because it was in the middle of a song (and you could hear the music pretty clearly under the announcement);

Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience featuring Marcella Simien was scheduled to play in the Blues Tent from 2:50 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on the second Sunday of the 2024 Jazzfest.

This over-the-airwaves FM broadcast was recorded (and edited) by Richard Russell (nolataper) in New Orleans. It is not from the online mp3 live stream.
