I have what I think is an important question.
The original CBS release of these sessions had reverb added to it via (IIRC) something like the "reverb room" in the basement of the studio. When Mosaic Records did their exhaustive release of the Mingus CBS sessions many years ago, the question of how best to recreate this effect was an important consideration and choice of the production team. I think the reverb was added judiciously into the master mix when cutting the final master.
If this new MoFi release is direct from the original master tapes then they might not have any of this reverb. So, for those of you who have heard this MoFi release, do they have the reverb, like the original? Or is this release "dry" from the standpoint of the sound?
Can anyone care to comment?
