[microsound] project: microacoustic pt2 (Blue Note)

[MSC Nelson]

There are also some interviews with Rudy Van Gelder, the engineer for a huge
chunk of those recordings.  Shows a bit about his thinking.

Seems like he was pretty cautious about letting others see how he got the
sound he did at Blue Note.

sound overly harsh without some processing.

Aside from liner notes, is there anything online where we can go and
read more on this?

Thanks.
