John R.T. Davies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John R.T. Davies (1927–2004) was a remastering engineer of classic jazz records. He was a trombonist and alto saxophonist for the 1960s jazz revival band The Temperance Seven.
He was considered "the world's leading specialist in the art of sound restoration," [1], specifically in regards to jazz and blues recorded on pre-magnetic tape media (shellac 78s, etc.). The presence of his name on the credit of a reissue is generally considered the mark of a quality product.enerou
John was always generous with his time and his collection and wanted it to be available for other people to use for research and reissues after his death. His family are delighted that the Borthwick Archive at York University have accepted the entire collection and are housing it in ideal conditions and making a transfer suite available so that his wish can be carried out in ideal conditions. The person to contact is Chris Webb and it should be up and running in early 2007.
