Group,
Since retirement, I'm always working on improving the sound from old music. My latest method is an attempt to remove some of the limitations to the acoustic recording with regards to sound levels.
This recording is "Crazy Blues" by Noble Sissle, 1921. I have processed the music levels through a 5th order Polynomial Filter. Comments?
Per Request, the next one is the Original.

That certainly sounds good, although I don't have the original to compare it with. Can you upload the original recording that you used?

Curt,
I added the Original to my post. Good idea.
Note: The mp3 encoding does modify the dynamic range of the music so that my changes may not be as easy to hear as a wav type file.

It sounds very nice, well done.
I wasn't familiar with Noble Sissle, he's not bad either!
