DMM Direct Metal Mastering. Original historical master tape.
“The original 3 track tapes of this session have been remixed to digital tape in order to greatly reduce analog tape hiss and to improve the quality and balance of sound. In the process, another four titles were discovered and are included here.
For the Blue Note reissue of this historic session, we have gone back to the original 3 track masters and and remixed them to digital tape in order to improve the sound of the music and the fidelity. In the process, we discovered four unissued performances (“A Little Max,” “Switch Blade,” “REM Blues,” and “Backward Country Boy Blues”) that are now included on the album. Significantly, these four discoveries are all Duke Ellington compositions that have never been heard before in any form.
