Tech NoteAfter downloading the complete Soundstage dvd torrent with Herbie Hancock, Carmen McRae and Sun Ra, a friend asked me to put the Sun Ra part in a separate file. Then, another friend asked if it would be possible to keep the video part replacing the audio with a better sounding source. I did both things and also added menus & chapters for an easier navigation. On the last moment, I included again the intro of the broadcast, containing beautiful photos and nice commentaries by Sun Ra, but this title remains with its original poorer sound as I have no better recording of it. Thanks to the original seeder of the video and to S.A., who provided the sound recording. Sun Ra Arkestra Chicago Jazz Festival 1981 Chapters.
