elvin jones jazz machine - lugano 99 fthis is just a “what i happen to be listening to & thought would be good to share” posting.  i downloaded it from dime when ‘unclewolfi’ seeded it in 2007.

i’m not listened to elvin jones jazz machine much, not sure why as today it was working very well for me.  unclewolfi didn’t seem pleased with the recording (“not the best recording i captured from the radio”) but i think that has to be taken as the relative assessment that it is.

seeder’s comments:
not the best recording i captured from the radio.
it comes from rete due & seems to be a little rough &
in some parts the piano sounds a little bit overloaded.
but all in all it’s a wonderful concert.

sticking with that “graz” theme, here’s another that i downloaded at around the same time (mid 2011), also from a performance in graz.  but the similarities end there a bit… 11 trombonists vs 2 pianists?  hmmm.  both good, a bit different though.

the announcer does chat a bit between tracks, though, but not too much (unlike, say, most french announcers).
