Barney Wilen - Paris 1989 - now on dime

Barney Wilen is one of my favourite jazz musicians, no doubt! Our crazy friend Norm seeded an abridged version of this 1989 Paris concert yesterday, I dropped him a note to let him know I have more. He then pulled his version and the mods went all wild about it, it seems... hence I acted quick and prepared my own version for seed last night, and there 'tis:

Note on edits:
- all FM talk removed, as far as possible without losing any of the music
- deleted fm talk at end of #1-5,9,11,12
- added fade-in (not from zero!) at beginning of #3,4,10,11 (was far too loud since the announcer mic caught much of the music, too)
- applied 6 dB cut at beginning #5,11,12 for same reason
- added fade-out at end of all tracks
- deleted short bits of noisy silence at end of #7-10,12
- during the applause following the tunes you can hear where the announcer mic is turned on (applause gets louder) - I didn't edit that as usually around there I began the fade-outs

Note on sound:
- #5 all of a sudden has lots more of fm hiss, but it gets better again later, yet remains a bit inconsistent
- an A- rating seems fair, alltogether, though it may start out at A/A- and get close to A-/B+ at some moments
