Moosbrugger Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The book I'm reading ("Sabbath's Theater," Phillip Roth), refers to Benny Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. I did some googling, and I think I need to have this. Does anyone know if there is a good hi res download available? I don't see it on HD Tracks. Or a recommendation for which CD version is preferable? A Hudson Valley Home: Kichels -- A Recipe from the Old Country Link to comment
Jud Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 From a little research, it appears the better quality recordings are those made from the metal (aluminum) masters, thought lost and then found in 1998. CDs were made of these in 1998, 2002, and 2006. I don't know what source this hi-res download at 7 Digital Canada is from (couldn't find it at 7 Digital US): https://ca.7digital.com/artist/benny-goodman-and-his-orchestra/release/the-famous-1938-carnegie-hall-jazz-concert-no-1-live-mono-version-6352799 Edit: Caveat - the 1999 (rather than 1998, sorry) release apparently was mastered with a fair amount of surface noise due to the producer's wish to be faithful to the original. I don't know if the subsequent CD releases cleaned that up at all. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Moosbrugger Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks. I didn't know about 7digital. I'll check it out. A Hudson Valley Home: Kichels -- A Recipe from the Old Country Link to comment
nrj53 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Quobuz has the same version, which is only Part 1 of the concert, and also has both Part 1 and Part 2 on BnF at 24/96 for very low prices. I think 7digital does as well, but you need to look like you are in Canada to buy them. I don't know the quality of the BnF versions but I think I remember reading that this is partly a government funded label to preserve music, which is why material on the label is so cheap. Ross.

I believe the BnF releases are transfers from vinyl. Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
