Original audio shared by jazzcdburner in Dec. 2004

Original Notes (jazzcdburner):
This is a great sounding show, its so heavily improvised that the tune identification is difficult. Please help with track 2.

Revision Notes:
The original audio was running fast:
Tracks 1-3: -3.6%
-cut
Track 4: -3.0%

The channels were time misaligned. I phase corrected the following:
Tracks 1-3: Right channel was leading the left by 6 samples
Track 4: Right channel leading the left by 2 samples

There are EQed/remastered versions of this recording from kinebee and rlouk. Those have the same speed issues as the jazzcdburner
original audio version, and I think are sourced from it. It would be nice if a lower gen version of this recording could surface
one day.
