here’s a little something by one of my favorite groups, who i had a chance to see some years ago in dublin, ireland.  bought every cd they had for sale, as one does.  but haven’t had a chance to see them again.  my favorite cd of theirs, which i had before that dublin show, was ‘the masters of groove meet dr. no’, basically an album of covers from dr. no (and, if memory serves, a few other ‘bond’ pieces?).  fantastic.  must be listened to.

Cecile McLorin Salvant 2014-05-28 pic24aaaaaand another demux.  this was a great show, and one that i think i missed listening too after downloading it from dime in august (seeded by yoyoma88).

as i’ve done for some of the other shows that i’ve demuxed, i’ve included a few screenshots.  maybe someone will make up a cd cover and send it in, who knows?

funny sort of a recording, with huge amounts of dead air at the beginning & end.  but decent enough audio quality, so i converted it to flac & tracked it.  the volume of the performance was all over the place, loud bits, soft bits, loud songs, quieter songs… and when tracking it, i notice a certain amount of clipping on some of the louder bits.  but still a very nice recording, so here you go.

video source per original seed:
livestream (audio aac-lc, bit rate 320 kbps, sampling rate 48.0 khz, see below)

demux source:
video as above (.flv) > mediacoder 08.32.5660 > audio (.flac) > cd wave editor (tracking) > .flac
mediacoder: audio only, format flac, encoder flac (compression level 5), source auto select, resammple & bit depth both original

the original video had a lot of dead air — around 25 mins at the beginning & around 8 mins at the end. since the audio
portion of the video seemed to be a pretty good quality, and to get rid of the dead air, i converted it into flac… and
then tracked the whole thing since i was at it.

the original seeder, yoyoma88, didn’t give a lot of information: basically just that it was a livestream recorded at ronnie scott’s.

Dizzy Gillespie 1965-11-24 Olympia, Paris - screenshot 1 another demux from a video mastered for dvd.  the dvd’s (in .vob format) are demuxing fine, but i’m having trouble with the .flv’s.  i know i’ve done that before, so am baffled that now it’s not working for me.

i downloaded this when ‘vdgg86’ seeded it in february last year.  vdgg86 has only seeded a few things, but both that i’ve downloaded have been fascinating little gems from another era.

original seeder’s comments
both partis was originally broadcasted by french tv at the time.
sourced from french tv master tape. this show is one of the hundreds french tv jazz shows i have.

additional comments:
i’ve updated this info file based on comments on the dime tracker. this was originally seeded as “dizzy gillespie a l’olympia 1967 (with jimmu smith)”. according to the intro (by norman granz in perfect french, according to comments on the dime tracker), the first part is the dizzy gillespie group, followed by the jimmy smith trio. only the dizzy part of the show is included here.

updated jan 2023:  listening to this again for the first time in probably 8 years, and i really enjoyed it.  yes, there was a bit of crowd noise, but it worked (for me at least, again!) to give it that ‘live show’ feel.  it’s a long show too, and they took the time to play some long numbers, always nice!  i’ve added the musicians’ urls i could find & a photo (which i wasn’t doing 8 years ago).

i’ve downloaded two ernie watts shows from ‘ijwthstd’ on dime.  ijwthstd doesn’t give much information about anything*, and (be warned) there is a quite a lot of crowd noise in this.  but i really enjoyed it.  enough that i took the trouble to update the info file (below) with what i could, though i couldn’t understand the titles of the last two songs (not even sure those titles were announced).  maybe it caught me in just the right mood, i don’t know… so here’s the show from 2011 that was seeded back in january  2014.
*  on dime, he has a ul/dl ratio of 1.7, and high volume; should we complain too loudly?
