Carla Bley & The Lost Chords (feat. Paolo Fresu) - Complete

Jazznojazz Festival,
Theaterhaus Gessnerallee
Zürich, Switzerland
1st November 2007

DVB-S@256, 48kHz > raw data > ProjextX > mp3DirectCut > mp2
(lossy recording seeded in its original broadcast codec)

Track 01 unchanged, but converted from mp2 to .wav
Track 02 stitched in the missing 1.72sec, final note / pause before track 03 starts
Track 03 stitched 2 segments from unclewolfi's post (which are both now not in this new disk2)
- applause on original track02 added to the beginning
- the whole of track04 (Announcement Carla Bley)

These restore the continuity where presumably joerg had to edit out the station announcer

hotbird sat > nexus-s > hdd > nero wave editor > flac
(hotbird sat uses MPEG1 Layer 2/256 kbps)

Tracks 05-09 unchanged

Both are great posts of the same concert, but both omit a substantial part not on the other.
Joerg's has the beginning 23 min, whilst unclewolfi's has the last 36min, so I decided to
combine the best of both to give the whole complete great concert.

The two sources often broadcast the same concert and there is much debate about which one sounds
better - but there is always a difference which can only be down to the editing by the two
stations. Often Hotbird's stereo image is much narrower, so joerg's posts sound better, but
sometimes (as in this case) unclewolfi's have quantifiably better dynamic range and frequency
response, whilst suffering less intrusive station announcers too - Amen to that !!

The other difference is that the music is 180 degrees out of phase between the two !! Thus it
doesn't sound good to mix much of the 2 sources, so I elected to split the two each on their own
disk whilst still ensuring complete continuity of the concert.

Much of the music is unchanged and I kept the original (unclewolfi's) torrent and file names so
those that have the original only need to upload the changed (joerg's) tracks. Note this means
there is now no track04 (see above).

So now with thanks to both great Dimers...Enjoy !!
