Notes Welcome to Volume 76 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.

Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.

Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with mainly NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.

Volume 76 features the 1st set from the Chick Corea Trio, it was quite the day at the Blue Note. There were two early sows from George Benson at 3PM and 5PM (TapeTyrant taped the 3PM show) then stayed to tape this tremendous improv heavy show from Chick's trio. Quality is the usual TapeTyrant quality we've come to expect.

Thanks to Goody for always being available for invaluable pitch guidance.

Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these historic shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).

Artwork included as well as ads and a review of the show.
