[Dixielandjazz] Fw: RIP John R.T.

[Stan Brager]

This sad news was just posted on the Duke Ellington list. John was the genius behind many of the JSP reissues and more. His work will surely be missed.

Dear All
I'm sure you'll be saddened to know that the great remastering engineer, John R.T. Davies, died this morning. Though not particularly known for being a Duke follower, he contributed to many reissues - not only the ones where he was in charge of remastering, but by loaning 78rpm takes of which he often had mint copies.
