  2. too much noise reduction for my taste, this sounds like coming from a rusty old can. parker's solo on the first track sounds like a muffled electroacoustic exercise in computer music, but not a soprano sax solo.

  3. Dear Riccardo , thank you for this
    which i gratefully accept, allow me to share my opinion Regarding Luckys comment(a mere point of view, of course).

    i too feel that over mastering these wonderful shows ,with noise reduction , effects and what have you, seems to reduce the impact of the music , bleaches it out,and distorts the naturall sound of the instruments.. i personally would prefer the rawer mixes you were doing before ....

    some examples of truly great recordings of your's are ... the D.Murray -Rome 78, the Albert mangelsdorff solo show, the Air rome 78 Show and all the others .... something changed and it just doesnt sound AS good.
    best
    yours
