Classic 🖐🏽 Poncho Sanchez 🪘🪘🪘 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival Performance 🎶 RAW Re-Master‼️ [2023]

➤ Twenty years ago I oversaw, edited, and mastered the DVD set for Concord Records (Concord Media Group) "Poncho@Montreux."

👉🏿 Here's what prompted this re-release: when the DVD hit Amazon, the first review was scathing- mainly about the editing. The big gripe was too many interviews and too many effects. I've learned over the years that critics are simply people who wanted to and didn't get the opportunity to do that which they are criticizing. That said, here's the full 2003 Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band Montreux performance; no interviews, no special effects, basically raw, uncut, and upscaled to HD for its twentieth anniversary.

👉🏿 Why was the first release peppered with interviews and digital effects? Re-locking these files (which were transcoded from an anamorphic PAL tape (540p25) to NTSC Quicktime (480p30) in 2003) to the original board audio (for reference), then a re-lock to the 2.1 audio mix from 5.1 Entertainment sampled from a 50Hz location source for a sixty-minute concert was impossible to do perfectly with 2003 technology, so the workaround was to edit around and cover up the issues. The files were an asynchronous mess (with missing frames at the head of each segmented file along with the slip-sync audio sources); breaking up the performance (with interviews & b-roll) and covering the concert with 10-bit effects softened the harshness of the files' original state(s). My Amazon reviewer probably doesn't even understand what I just explained, let alone how to have dealt with the situation back in the day.

This release is a modern re-lock of all the sources with the multiple missing frames "in-betweened" by AI software. You will see the video director's control room cut and hear the original mix by Concord's Pro-tools genius, Seth Presant.

*Batri Cha Cha was not included in the original DVD cut so is a never-before-seen performance. There was no Pro-tools mix, so the Montreux board audio was used.

Lastly, Rest in Peace David Torres (piano) and Dave Samuels (vibes). Two outstanding musicians.
