Thanks to Flambay (Cristian Reichert) who did the speed correction, especially on the tracks that need variable pitch adjustments (tracks 06-07-11). Sound Quality from B- to C+ ---- see below for a more detailed analysis track by track Lineage > 2 dime torrents > Audacity (high pass filter (default value) - normalizing - noise cutting ) > TLH (sbe- flac) > Dime -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This version comes from the sum of 2 versions of this concert : The "MASTER" version and the " SOUND IMPROVED " version. I had to do so because both the MASTER version and the SOUND IMPROVED version weren't complete . See notes below . The SOUND IMPROVED version: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=230194 Was uploaded by myself the first months of 2009 The "MASTER" one is the version uploaded last December by Tranehead with the following notes : _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ #279267 John Coltrane Quintet / Kobe, Japan / 17 july 1966 / KNOWN GEN. complete (UPGRADE)/ ***This version does not come from any previous tree, branch, CDR trade or unk.(x)gen. cassette, etc. Lineage: Master reel > DAT1(Fuji) > DAT2 (this) > CDRW (speed correction) > Flac Reportedly recorded under the recordists chair. some foot tapping is evident. this tape is complete and unedited. NOTE: as with all other circulating copies, indeed the master, there are many speed fluctuations and overall it is a very flawed tape. that said, Naima is beautiful, and MFT is the longest known version from the tour. very OUT! We are lucky to have this. enjoy! ***CONTRAST CLAUSE: this torrent should be considered an upgrade to the previous torrents seeded here (listed below), as this is a known gen. DAT copy, whereas those derive from a trade CDR of unknown generation. Recent version: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=278666 Sound improved version: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=230194 Other than fixing the pitch as best i could (matching to the official release), i have left the sound raw and intact from the original dub. I think some eq'ing or other "technical tricks" might bring out a wider spectrum of sound. I'll leave that to someone else. ---------------- "master " 01 Annc Intro (0:58) 02 Naima (20:26) 03 MFT (59:47) 04 Leo (44:55) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The SOUND IMPROVED version: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=230194 Was uploaded by myself the first months of 2009 cdr in trade (from bad tape)> Audacity (removed as much noise as possible and some volume adjustment > CD Wave [tracking > FLAC Sound Quality very variable from track to track MFT and LEO weren't complete but there was LEO's Finale !!! below what I used of leo : 09 - Leo - Saxes Reprise 06:31 10 - Leo - Finale 01:10 11 - Leo - Reprise (inc 2:42 + 0:18) 03:00 What I called Reprise is just the beginning of the 'Master' version of Leo plus in the very end the last notes of Leo finale missing from the 'master' tape _________________________________________________________________________________________________ SOME HISTORY ______________________ First of all I divided the tracks of the "MASTER" following MORE OR LESS the sequence of Solos first surprise : in Leo we have the following sequence : Theme Drums solo (with leo theme) Piano solo Drums solo Piano solo (truncated) a very original sequence to be true !! In Fact after careful listening I discovered that 2 of the solos were clones of the other 2 (with different lenghts) and the 2 good ones were not in sequence one after the other!! I Wonder what happened to this tape !! What is missing from this 'Master Tape' luckily is present in my "sound improved" version of this concert of last year So I had to cut some 11 minutes to obtain a version of Leo Complete and without repetitions second surprise : in Leo we have the same finale as MFT !!! (I mean the last few seconds) this comes from the 'SOUND IMPROVED' tape which contained a really puzzle-version of MFT that was 2/3 MFT 1/3 Leo and for a few seconds again MFT ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ N O T E S to Tracks 02) NAIMA 20:30 I really recommend it - wonderful music contains a 6'35 solo by Sanders from 6'50 to 13'25 really the best I've heard from him(I'm not a fan of Sanders though ) - the differences in timings (from 20:26 to 20:12 is due to noises cut off) now the time is back to 20:30 due to time speed correction sound quality is B /B- A MUST Speed Correction : -1.5 % (= -26cts) ******** M F T ******** 03) GARRISON SOLO 16:04 I worked on it for at least 40 hours (in some places i worked an hour to clean 20 seconds) That's the reason why the length passed from 17:49 to 16:04 !! Sound quality now is B- Highly recommendable now !! (imho) No speed correction done 04) Trane Solo 09:52 A really powerful solo containing quotations from Kush (by Dizzy) and India The tape was pretty bad and in 3 or 4 points i Couldn't eliminate tape twists without eliminate music Sound quality now is B- - listenable (imho) Speed correction : +2 % (= +35cts) 05) Sanders Solo 10:04 A good solo Sound quality now is C+ - listenable (imho) Speed correction : +1 % (= +18cts) 06) Piano solo 06:23 I managed to improve it but the sound is poor (warbles) Sound quality now is C- - i'd leave it out of a cd - for completists Speed correction : variable pitch adjustment (+ 3%) 16a) it's a shortened version of the solo just to join well track 5 with track 7 07) MFT - Trane finale 13:39 Really grand Sound quality just a bit under the quality of the trane solo beginning Speed correction : variable pitch adjustment (+ 4%) END OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ******** L E O ******** 08) LEO - THEME 10:31 After the statement of the theme The Caos Begins The first 2'40 are the same as the "Leo Reprise" of the SOUND IMPROVED version Sound Quality B-/ C+ Speed correction : -3 % 09) - Leo - Drums solo with Leo theme 13.18 Very long Drum solo Sound quality now is C Speed correction : -3 % 10) - Leo - Piano solo 10:40 I managed to improve it but the sound is really poor (many warbles) Sound quality now is C-- - i'd leave it out of a cd - for completists Speed correction : -3 % 20a) it's a shortened version of the solo just to join well track 9 with track 11 11) Saxes Reprise Finale 07:49 A powerful ending for Leo with the 2 saxes together Sound quality now is B-/ c+ - listenable (imho) Speed correction : variable pitch adjustment 12) Leo reprise 03.09 What I have entitled as "Leo reprise" is a track containing the Beginning of Leo with the theme of leo lasting 2'42 plus a very brief ending with applause. Sound quality now is B-- - pretty listenable (imho) Speed correction : -3 % I have left it even though we already have it as track 08 because this is all we had in the "SOUND IMPROVED" version of the beginning of the track and to me it sounded also as a good "encore" and this is the way I suggest everybody to burn the second CD with this second statement of the Theme as an encore .
