NOTES
Recorded off the radio by Richard Russell.
The broadcast of the performance began abruptly after about 62 seconds of dead air.
WWOZ's mix appeared to have been partially broadcast without properly decoding the mid/side stereo signal from the Jazz Tent feed, causing most of the instruments to come through the left speaker. Using Reaper, I corrected the issue with a mid/side decoder. The issue seems to have started abruptly between Tracks 1 and 2. I changed only Tracks 2-9.
This performance was plagued by dozens of tiny hiccups and glitches throughout. I think I identified most of them and repaired them with iZotope's interpolate tool.
After a station break (that I removed) prior to Track 4, WWOZ neglected to turn off one of their mics and the DJs can heard for a minute or so during Track 4.
In addition, I made these edits:
* A quarter-second dropout at 92 seconds into Track 1 was closed up;
* A station break of more than 2 minutes was removed at 8:39 into Track 3 just before Track 4;
* A one-third-second dropout at 2:19 into Track 6 was closed up
