well, on the road again, in old madrid, with that trusty solid-state usb drive.  listened to a hank mobley quintet cd and then queued up this lovely show (now playing!) by the great johnny griffin & eddie lockjaw davis.   great way to end the day.  not much to say about these two, individually or together, that hasn’t been said before.  i do forget, sometimes but not for long, that you really can’t have too much of this stuff.

this was shared on dime by ‘kinebee’ back in (wait for it) august 2008.  gracious!

took a break today & put all of this together into 1 folder, fixed a few things, etc.  good show & recording, quite long with two sets.  and, for me, good music to listen to while working.  might listen to it again.  it was taped by ‘royboy’, but my copy of the dime tracker doesn’t have the original seeder; guess they’d dropped off dime by the time i downloaded it in 2014.

i’m still a bit to busy for cd covers… but who burns cd’s anymore any how?  still, nice to have a picture of some kind, isn’t it?

rename & replay gain, august 2016 [by pete]
the early set was mis-named as from the next day, and the entire show was hard to hear.
i corrected the filenames, moved all files into 1 folder, added replay gain & updated the
checksum files.

Johnny Griffin 1998-07-23 Graz Austria cd cover frontit’s been a johnny griffin sort of a day. started off very oscar peterson, but the weather quickly turned, and a strong johnny griffin front blew in from the west.

from “rillenheini’s” comments, you’ll gather that this was the first 3 three nights, and he shared all of them.  i always think of putting together a super-concert from runs like that, but instead i just end up listening to three nights in a row again.  which is not bad, not bad at all, in this case.

lineage: sbd (unknown equipment) > md > sony mdrec (playback) > philips cdrec > nero (flac 8) > hd

sound quality: a / a –

in those days, every group played three consecutive days at the jazzsommer graz festival. happily, i have the original soundboard mds from many evenings and will seed the rest in the future if there is interest.
i had, of course, no influence on how the soundboard junkie handled the recordings. therefore, some are in mono, others in stereo, some are well balanced, others not. sometimes there is background noise because many people only came here to spread the latest news; sometimes it rained and the rain rattled on the tent.
i absolutely made no edits on this particular recording but kept it in their original form in order to let you listen to griff’s announcements, too. needless to say that griff was in fantastic shape!
one final word to .mp3 freaks: you can convert these files for your own pleasure but please do not give them away to sites such as bigo, otherwise i’ll stop seeding here.
