| Notes | Also circulates as Feb. 27 but missing the last two songs. Feb. 20 is correct. The Feb. 18 Boston Globe contains a panel ad for Jazz Workshop listing George Benson Quartet from Feb. 18-25, and a band called Deodato performing "2001: A Space Odyssey" the week of Feb. 26. During this performance, Benson states that he is "playing here through Sunday." which would have been 2/25. Finally, WBCN's Jazz Workshop broadcasts were usually on a Tuesday, which would have been Feb. 20. (Feb. 27 may have been a WBCN broadcast date?) This recording is more complete and richer sounding that the circulating FM > R(x) > Akai GX4000D recording dated 2/27. Like that one, however, this recording has some FM noise and some analog tape hiss. Both have been diminished, just a touch, and some particularly loud pops, crackles and snits eliminated. The remaining blemishes are still noticeable during quiet passages. Track 10 may be a very short version of a song called "Some Blues." Band introductions begin about 25 seconds before the end of that track. The drummer's name is a best guess. Enjoy! --mhg :: 2020-10-16 |
