Notes:
This version should be compared to the previously circulating
version to be understood. This one is slightly more complete
(the two takes of Goodnight Irene, here laid out at the start
of disc two, are absent from the other version). It also has
slightly clearer lineage, at least in terms of the analog-to-
digital transfer (John Kahn’s cassette to Ryan Shriver’s DAT).

In terms of sound quality, it seems a bit of a toss-up. The
other version had some noise reduction and other work done in
Sound Forge, and actually seems to have considerably more high
end than this version, which is considerably flatter and bassier.

Lineage: The person who I traded with to get this show only knows the following: he thinks it’s a SBD>CAS (a few gens)>SoundForge>CDRWIN.

I was delighted with the sound quality considering the dodgy lineage. This rehearsal is a wonderful glimpse into the genius of New Orleans piano king James Booker, bringing a new (Orleans) dimension to the JGB sound.

Comments:

The Jerry List describes this as ” A studio rehearsal, most likely at Club Front but not for sure.” It was a rehearsal for some Palo Alto club dates later that week.

James Booker was a one-eyed New Orleans piano wizard in the Professor Longhair style, but much more melodic. He had some classical training, also played a B-3 and improvised endlessly. He recorded briefly in the 50s, put out some fantastic Rounder albums in the 70s, had a weekly gig at the Maple Leaf Club in NOLA that resulted in some posthumous releases from soundboard cassettes after his death in about 1980. He got some well-deserved exposure at Jazz Fest. Not quite sure how he connected up with Jerry, but I’m sure there’s a story there.

This is not the complete rehearsal. The single disc I’ve got gets off to a slow start with an instrumental but Jerry and Booker quickly get in the groove right after that. Booker isn’t hesitant to offer Jer suggestions. Some cassette hiss. To me, this is the ultimate fly-on-the-wall session featuring two unique musicians.

notes: tracks 1-14: “studio 1970” (aka apartment demos 1966)

***while this version of the “apartment demos” may be
of inferior sound quality (you can decide for yourself),
the CC Rider on the circulating copy is messed up with
tracks bleeding into each other. The CC Rider is ok on
this source so you ocd’ers might want to update that one
track as an “upgrade”.

The rest of the material, tracks 15-20, were all new to me
and hopefully new to the taping community as well. Track 20
is especially interesting and good sound quality.

Thanks for the Original Transfer from Tape by JTT
REMASTER By Captain Acid March 2012

Hi friends,
I love this original album so much, I just had to make this acetate sound better.
I have fixed the phase problem and did some EQ.
Mostly by adding bass and cutting some high frequencies.
I also did some level correction and that was all.
Ah Yes, and I manually declicked vinyl pops, on the last track on album.
It was just so annoying and the song has lot of quiet parts so I had to do it.
It`s much better now.
I am quite happy how it sound now.
I have adopted the artwork too.
Enjoy,
Captain Acid March 2012
