Here is another Old and New Dreams title on ECM. This time it’s live. Recorded in June 1980 in Austria. Fantastic performance from this outstanding group. The sound is great. Everything sounds clear, crisp, detailed and pleasant. It could just as well have been a studio recording.
What a treat it would have been to see them live back in the day. They were masters and the music reflects that. Blackwell is probably my favorite drummer. Maybe together with Tony Williams. His playing is just out of this world. And Haden is one of my favorite bassists. An amazing artist. He is up there with LaFaro for me.
The search continues for the rest of their output as well as many more great titles from the late 60’s into the 80’s.
