don't suppose you have some back story on the reason this video was made
was it just someone's home movie or part of an attempted documentary or tv segment?

It's very poorly shot - the audio is unintelligible and the visual is often dark, and it is mostly tedious handheld footage where nothing is going on. I don't know what the ultimate intention was, though. Maybe it's just the idea to have someone filming everything just in case?

It'd be great if there was someone I could entrust the tape to who is technically inclined to rip it and clean it up, or alternatively who could guide me through some of it, and ultimately take ownership of what's going to be a large file.

I have an adapter and can rip to a file using Quicktime. It'd be great to have someone who will take the resulting very large file and optimize the picture and sound, and put it into a shareable form, etc.
Obviously they'd want to work with the least compressed version, etc. - it would be better if someone who knows what they are doing could take this on, rather than say my subjective taste and limited experience with the various settings in Handbrake, Audacity, etc.

Here's the whole video.
[we.tl]
Hoping that ProfessorWolf and/or BlueTurns2Grey can work with it to fix aspect ratio and otherwise clean up audio and video. I'm not intending to re-upload because what I posted is a working copy so that there's eventually a better version that's shareable more broadly.
(Plus, there are people out there with better copies than I have, maybe we'll hear from them)
(I've got a Steel Wheels video in a similar vein, that if it isn't already in circulation, I can share once we're in a good shape with this one)

Thanks a lot, very interesting upload!
There is also a famous jazz sax player named David Murray
[en.wikipedia.org])
but on this track we hear David (or Dave) McMurray (from the Don Was circle)
[relix.com]
"While the sax player may be best known in jazz circles, he is also a member of the innovative musical collective Was (Not Was), initially appearing on the group’s 1981 self-titled debut album at the behest of future Blue Note label head, Don Was. Over the years, McMurray has also worked with B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt and many others."
He is also on the released Voodoo Lounge takes of Brand New Car and Suck On The Jugular.
