CD92115 COUNT ORY - Blake, Putnam, Ramey, Esham - NYCO bcst 1979

Digging deeper into the box of old reel-to-reel tapes, here is a performance which was last shared on OS in 2008, but those links are no longer active. At any rate, this recording is derived from a different source, taped in 1979 with Dolby B noise reduction. This evening was Rocky Blake's NY City Opera debut, and there are also fine performances from Putnam, Ramey and Esham. Two mp3 files (320 kbps CBR, 48 kHz) + this documentation file. Enjoy!
