edmond hall – 15 march 1961, sendesaal villa berg, radio sdr, stuttgart germany

Jan 302016

i don’t hear a lot of clarinet, at least that i can tell, and this old recording has been floating around the internet for a long time, most recently when ‘larryjazzman’ shared it on dime in march 2013. it’s wonderful recording, that you can listen to over and over.

if you’re interested in more edmond hall (and i am), there’s some for sale on the usual on-line outlets, and also over at storyville records.

download manager – more trouble than it’s worth?

after getting a number of complaints about issues downloading — and testing it myself — i’ve decided to retire the download manager. curiosity killed that cat and, it seems, downloads. at least using that d/l manager.

shows will still be hosted here, and i may try another d/l manager later. but for now, i’m converting the d/l links to direct links to the .zip files… bit by bit.

so if you are trying to download something and have a link

like this: [download id=”1875″]
instead of like this: link

then just leave a message & i’ll get to it as soon as possible.

ran across this today, was listening to it as i worked away, and thought it might be time for a break. ‘diego60’ shared this on dime in 2010, it’s his own audience recording. the band is quite a line up, and are playing their hearts out, so it’s nice diego60’s recording came out as nicely as it did. but be warned, tracks 3 & 4 should be a single track… the cutover is a little jarring (but gave me a conveniently small file to convert for a sample)

i recently ran across avidemux, “a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks”. i actually only use it for demuxing the audio streams of video downloads, but recommend it over the other demux options that i’ve tried. i’m not interested in video editing, i don’t want to change the audio format at all (except for listening in my car ^^ )… i just want an unchanged, demuxed copy of the audio stream. and avidemux seems to do just that, quickly, and even lets you pick which audio stream if there’s more than one. there have been a few shows that wouldn’t demux – i’m not sure why – but generally it’s worked great.

miles davis quintet – 3 nov 1969, salle pleyel, paris france

between christmas, new years, a little trip and being incredibily busy, january has been flying by. so lets start the year off here with a bit more miles davis. if i can keep miles to below 5% of the posts, then i suppose i’m doing well.

anyway, this has been floating around up on dime since sept 2011 (thanks to matthughen), as a video. this is the demux of that video. according to plosin, it is from an ortf tv broadcast. certainly looks that way, but unfortunately i’m not going to upload the 8.4gb video here… the demuxed audio will have to do.

comments from original (video) info file:
first set is great quality video and audio. the second set is a little rougher video with several
brief dropouts. imho, this does not diminish the viewability of this rare performance. second set
also includes jack on piano and chic playing some drums and double drums as well. i have not seen
another video of this rare phenomenon. unfortunately the mics don’t appear to be dialed in. this
is my final boot liberated from same south american reseller. set lists are from entree. no menus
or chapters; just the complete performance straight through.

cd covers made with ronyasoft cd dvd label maker, v.3.01.32, using screenshots from the video.
