Another great reissue is this obscure session recorded by Sunny Murray in 1994 with two musicians that comes from the alternative rock. Previously published on lp in a very limited quantity (less than 30 copies), it will be reissued with more music.

There was too much junk on this broadcast so I converted the mp2 file to WAV, edited the files and converted to flac.
Enjoy, Bill

============

I have long preferred Douglas' electric bands over his acoustic ones and this great sounding TS-file
recording by Lewojazz brings out the outstanding dynamics and clarity of his latest group.

Notes:
Received from source, who made the recording to DAT, labelled as "part one." I have never come across a part two.

Although also given as digital broadcast, the frequency analysis shows no dip in the high frequencies, so although the bitrate was not given it is surely exceptionally high and demonstrates a lossless source.
