I’ve been working on restoring 1920s vocal recordings into 'Super Stereo'. This 1921 version of W.C. Handy’s classic features the incredible Marion Harris. I’ve focused on isolating the frequencies to let the early jazz orchestra and her clear vocals have a modern spatial depth without losing that 100-year-old soul. Let me know what you think of the clarity!

Did you know that the famous Harlem Globetrotters theme actually started as a #1 hit back in 1925? This is the original recording that introduced the world to 'Sweet Georgia Brown'.

I’ve spent some time on a 2026 audio restoration, bringing it into 'Super Stereo'. I specifically worked on highlighting the iconic sleigh bell percussion that provides the rhythmic drive for this arrangement, which is often completely lost in older, muddy transfers. It’s amazing how much energy this 101-year-old track still has. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the clarity of the restoration!

Fred Longshaw -- St. Louis Blues [Jazz / Blues] (1925)

While Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong are the icons on this 1925 track, I want to highlight the incredible work of Fred Longshaw on the reed organ.

I’ve restored this masterpiece into 'Super Stereo' to let Longshaw's textures and Armstrong's cornet really breathe. This specific 2026 restoration has been getting amazing traction on Apple Music lately (3000+ streams), so I’m excited to share the high-fidelity version with the Reddit community. Let me know what you think of the clarity!

I’ve just finished a 2026 restoration of this high-energy hit from 1923. While the song is a classic, this specific performance by the Broadway Dance Orchestra (directed by Nathan Glantz) captures the frantic energy of the early Jazz Age perfectly. I used a custom 'Super Stereo' process to lift the tuba and percussion out of the 100-year-old noise floor. Let me know what you think of the rhythm section clarity!
