i downloaded a show by eddy louiss today or was it yesterday, which really knocked my socks off. a quick search turned up a few shows with eddy louiss as a sideman, including this one which also knocked my socks off, with both him and rené thomas in getz’s quartet. it’s a killer combination, and there are a number of compositions by louiss or thomas, according to the setlist. ¿que mas hay?

marilyn mazur’s percussion paradise – 19 april 2001, værket, randers, denmark

marilyn mazur is one of those names that has seemed to float at the edge of my awareness – recognize the name, know i’ve heard some, but beyond that not much. so at some point recently, i downloaded several of her shows from dime to try and rectify that situation, including this one (which was up on dime around 18 months ago). a lot more percussion than what i normally listen to, which is very refreshing. but not music for my car or for working… more for sitting and listening to.

twana rhodes & köstritzer jazz quartet – mid-1990s, jazz baltica, salzau germany

2018, all, jazz, vocalist 2 Responses »

Oct 072018

well, this has been something of a run, between posts here and to dime. but i think it ends with this charming show by twana rhodes (who i’d not heard of before). this was combined with a show by dianne reeves in a video, but i quite preferred this show. so i’ve split it out into a separate video file and (very unusually) am uploading the video here, with an added bonus (here only) of demuxed, tracked, audio (in the original ac3 format). learned a bit more about using ffmpeg and had some fun. good thing i quite liked this, having listened to it around 3 times in the process.

twana rhodes & köstritzer jazz quartet
jazz baltica

mid-1990s, exact date unknown

twana rhodes – vocals
mathias nadolny – sax

original lineage:
all tracks are vhs rip via videoglide to an uncompressed .mov file then edited encoded via final cut pro.

additional lineage:
this was one of two shows shared in a single dvd-format (vob) video: twana rhodes & köstritzer band at
jazz baltica, salzau, germany sometime in the 1990s, and dianne reeves at jazzfestival bern, bern,
switzerland sometime in 1994. the video was converted into an mp4 container, which itself was then split
into the separate concerts.

as above (.vob) > ffmpeg (convert to one mp4 file > ffmpeg (split) > two .mp4 files
ffmpeg command (vob to mp4):
ffmpeg -y -i “concat:vts_01_1.vob|vts_01_2.vob|vts_01_3.vob|vts_01_4.vob” -vcodec copy -acodec copy “dianne reeves 1994 bern & twana rhodes 199xx jazzbaltica.mp4”
ffmpge commands (split mp4)
ffmpeg -y -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:39:03 -i “dianne reeves 1994 bern & twana rhodes 199xx jazzbaltica.mp4” -c copy “dianne reeves 1994.mp4”
ffmpeg -y -ss 00:39:03 -i “dianne reeves 1994 bern & twana rhodes 199xx jazzbaltica.mp4” -c copy “twana rhodes 199xx jazzbaltica.mp4”

see file “video conversion – compare files.pdf” for comparison of video details (per mediainfo 18.08.1) end-to-end

original seeder’s comments
this dvd is part of a series of vhs rips from my collection of jazz originally broadcast on european tv satellite
networks from the years 1993 to 1999. i was in the process of disposing of many vhs tapes and thought it was a shame
not to capture these gems as they provided a lot of enjoyment for me in the pre youtube days.

video quality is as expected (or maybe even slightly worse then expected) from a 15-20 year old vhs cassette. some
audio clean up (noise reduction in audacity) was done on some rips there was constant noise throughout. audio ripped
from the encoded stream using mpegclip improved using the noise profile feature in audacity. i believe the results of
the audio editing won’t have many complaints. 🙂

don pullen and george adams quartet – 23 oct 1985, bologna, italy

Oct 052018

it’s been a seriously don pullen – george adams day around here. i’ve listened to must be 4 or 5 concerts, over 10 hours of music. been working, been working, but i still got a long way to go. started the day with the django bates concert that i’d been messing with last weekend, thought i’d finish with one of these shows. in this one, that was shared by bluenote2005 in sept 2007 (which was a good period on dime for pullen-adams shows, btw), the taper’s self assessment is about right: source aud, sound b. maybe a little bit better? (though the piano is rather faint) and like so many pullen-adams shows, the energy just bleeds right through in any case.

django bates’ quiet nights w/josefine cronholm – 11 june 1997, cologne, germany

i was listening to part of this the other day and noticed it was a duplicate — but the “duplicate” turned out to be (almost all of) the rest of the show. so here are the two halves, in flac format with replay-gain. researching this, i discovered (a) someone else did this too (but i don’t have that version) and (b) that version includes an encore. if that more complete version floats across my horizon, i’ll grab it but in the meanwhile…

the encore, a reprise of speak low, is missing.

a complete version of this show has been seeded on dime, including the encore. see details of torrent
475596 by ‘fbauer’, below [in the info file, that is! — pete], which is a similar joining of two incomplete broadcasts. i’ve put the two
parts that i have in the same order, which makes sense (but which i don’t actually know is the right order).
within each source, the tracks are in the order originally broadcast.

the cd front-cover from unclewolfi’s seed (source 2)has been included (file “django bates quiet nights – cologne 97 f.jpg”)
for source 1, lewojazz noted that
these are the parts 19 to 22 of the wdr/oe1-jazznight 2011-09-04

this is a bit of a large download, at 1.3 gb, and will take a while, but it’s at 24 bits – 48 khz. i was going to downsample it, but (obviously) decided not to. this is a lovely show, but given the equipment that i use, there’s not really a payback in sound quality for the additional file size at 24/48. and it is good, like the other shows from sunside that i’ve downloaded. if i make it to paris instead of madrid, sunside is on my to-do list. for now, it’s a stroll over to clamores jazz or bogui jazz whenever i’m down from dublin (as just this moment); a change of pace from my usual haunts.

here’s one from dublin! this was recorded over 5 days, two songs at a time, by ‘johnos’, which took some real dedication. unfortunately, there’s no more live jazz on irish radio since the blue of the night. maybe the odd piece, coincidentally. and there’s often a live song or two on arena (though seldom jazz) — that’s a fantastic arts program and fortunately falls right when we happen to be listening to the radio. swings & roundabouts, i guess.

krzysztof komeda quartet with tomasz stanko – 1967, polish television “jazz w filharmonii”

2018, all, jazz 5 Responses »

Sep 092018

this was seeded recently enough on dime by ‘davidraphael’, in video format, which i’ve demuxed. the sound quality is very good. it was seeded as “requiem for john coltrane” (a.k.a. “nighttime daytime requiem”) but on www.komeda.art.pl it’s just “nighttime daytime requiem”. either way, allaboutjazz.com says that it “was written as a response to the news of the death of saxophonist john coltrane”. it’s a great tribute to coltrane, and i would be interested to know what was said about him in the short interview in the middle of the performance.
