John R. T. Davies

John R.T. Davies, as he was best known, was a remastering engineer of early jazz recordings par excellence. Nicknamed 'Ristic' among his close circle of friends, Davies was also a member of The Temperance Seven, a 1960s jazz-revival band, in which he played trombone, trumpet and saxophone. He often wore a fez during performances, hence his alias in the band -- Sheik Haroun of Wadi el Yadounir.
