ELTON DEAN'S NiNESENSE - Bracknell Jazz Festival 1978


I got this audience recording in trade from many years ago and I shared it previously in comments to some other Ninesense recording here. Recently I gave it a listen and found it wholly enjoyable and great preformance, thus I tried some equalisation from original mp3@320. In the end it is improvement I think. Setlist is similiar to 100 Club Concert from 1979. Track 5 (including 11 min of great improv) has significantly clearer sound without audience noises (which are quietly enjoyable during quiet passages earlier) and due to possible speaker entry in the fade out, it can come from some broadcast (possibly) from different concert, but I got it together with this Bracknell recording).

  4. Hi Milos, I don't think track 5 is part of that gig even though I loved listening to it as well - I found the setlist for Bracknell and it's: "One-Three-Nine", "Nicrotto", "Seven For Lee", "Firstborn", "De De Bup Bup", "Prayer For Jesus"

    Thanks again for posting this - the track Three for all is also on the studio album Happy Daze. Paul,

  5. Milos, are the flac files just a plain conversion from the mp3 ones?
    They were checked to be lossy...

  6. @unknown - original mp3 were converted to vaw, then equalized in SoudForge and converted to flac and mp3.
