DMP Posted April 26, 2006 Report Posted April 26, 2006 Not that you haven't already long ago figured this out, but George Benson (in the interview in the recently released "Essential...") (a nice collection, by the way - sort of unexpected) confirms that the McDuff "Live" album was indeed recorded in a studio, although with an audience present. (Shades of Captitol Records!) And Joe Dukes told me (many, many years ago) that the follow-up ("Live at the Jazz Workshop") wasn't recorded there, although I didn't press him for the details. No big deal, anyone could figure out from listening that there was something fishy going on. Quote
ajf67 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Oh yeah. Strange audience sound on that one. Annoying actually. I hardly ever listen to it because of that. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 21, 2018 Report Posted March 21, 2018 Haven't seen this thread before. When I spoke to Bob Porter in '96, he confirmed that the album was recorded at the Front Room in Newark, but the tape was screwed up in some way so they did it again, with the audience, in the studio. There are two versions of some tracks and I've occasionally wondered if those that appeared on other albums were actually surviving bits of what was really recorded at the Front Room. MG Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 22, 2018 Report Posted March 22, 2018 i kept the 2nd one (not with rock candy)- in both stereo & mono, i wonder where it was recorded! Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 Such a great band, the one with Pat Martino and Harold Vick too. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted March 25, 2018 Report Posted March 25, 2018 I just checked the one i have is the one apparently recorded in sweeden: "The Concert McDuff"--- i have it in stereo and mono DOG I JUST DISCOVERED THE SITE "JAZZLISTS" - SO MUCH EASIER TO LOOK AT THE DISCOG WITH PICTURES. IT SERIOUSLY MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE Quote
