JustDave's Notes:
I downloaded this kick ass DVD from a Russian torrent tracker. I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some of the track marks, I also raised the volume by doubling it twice. No EQ or Noise Reduction was used and no remixing or remastering was done. I did remove the broadcast programs intro and outro music. The DVD itself was two parts, each part having five tracks. I cross faded the two parts together for a smoother transition. The DVD itself had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps using Trader's Little Helper aligning all sector boundaries.

These four men to me are some of the most talented musicians in Jazz today. I have never heard a bad performance when just one of them was involved. When the four get together you have one of the best damn Jazz Improv bands today. I have a lot of music on the blog from Medeski, Martin, & Wood and John Scofield so check the links to the right.

 So Many people enjoyed the last Mad Skillet post I figured, one more time. This one was recorded a couple years earlier than the last but is just as bad ass! To tell the truth I had a hard time deciding which show I was going to post first. I only have the 2 so I flipped a coin. The winner was every one because you get both anyway, so enjoy my friends.

Take The Mad Professor of Keyboards John Medeski. Add 2 members of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band Sousaphonist Kirk Joseph & Drummer Terence Higgins. Then add Guitarist Will Bernard, who's played with quite a few artists such as Peter Apfelbaum's Hieroglyphics Ensemble, Tom Waitts, Don Cherry, and Stanton Moore to name a few. With a line up like that you can't lose. Through in some cover songs by Cannonball Adderley, Jelly Roll Morton, & Sun Ra. Have them write a few of their own and then you have A Hell Of A Great Night Of Awe Inspiring Music. Thankfully this great sounding matrix recording gives us a chance of hearing it for ourselves. Thanks go out to K.C. Cadwallader for the great recording, Funk It for the awesome mix and Shackaholic for the photos. This was shared on bt.etree.org where a ton of share friendly bands allow their music posted.

I think I downloaded this from Jazz Boot Experiment but I'm not sure. Jazz Boot Experiment is another great site for live unreleased Jazz shows from various artists. They are usually posted in MP3 320kbps and have a front cover for making a CD. This is another site that I recommend all my fellow Jazz fans visit.

This is a wonderful tribute to Jazz Great Tony Williams (R.I.P.).

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to raise the volume and clean up the fade in/fade out at the beginning and end of the recording. No EQ or noise reduction was used.

What a great show! After I downloaded and watched the MKV file that I made this DVD from, I knew I had to share the audio here with all my fellow Jazz fans.
