Jedyne pytanie przed wysłuchaniem tego albumu brzmi: "czy lubisz jazz?" Jeśli tak, to dalsze są już zbędne. Cały ten długi (prawie 3-godzinny!) koncert, nagrany 7 marca 1993 w nowojorskim "55 Bar", jest wypełniony mocną esencją jazzu, i to bez domieszek. Klubowa atmosfera stanowi doskonałe uzupełnienie finezyjnej i doszlifowanej gry zespołu. Da się z niej wyłowić naturalne w takich miejscach odgłosy publiczności i to trochę ożywia ten doskonale wykonany materiał. Łatwo sobie wyobrazić, że się tam jest. Wielkie dzięki za umieszczenie tego nagrania w jamendo! To wysoka poprzeczka, do której mogą się odnosić inni artyści publikujący tu pod etykietą "jazz". *** The only question one should ask before listening to the album is: "do you like jazz?" If so, the next ones are needless. All this long (almost 3 hours!) live performance, recorded 7th march 1993 in "55 Bar" (New York), is filled with a strong essence of jazz, with no additions. The atmosphere of the club is a great supplement to the subtle and precise band performance. You can hear natural to such places sounds of the audience, and it gives some more life to this great performed music. It's easy to imagine you are there. Big thanks for exposing this recording on jamendo! This makes a high bar, which can be referenced by other artists publishing here their music with "jazz" label.

cooler Jazz, der klingt wie aus den 60ern, aus den 99 ern ? hmm - verwirrt- aufnahmequalität: (jaja, stimmt schon 6 punkte) Musi: 9 bis 10 (kommt drauf an ob man so ne jazz mag) aber ich kann, die idee nachvollziehen, hier bei jarmendo auch archiv-aufnahmen einzubringen - das finde ich sehr gut! deshalb die volle NEUN. coleman, alte davis-aufnahmen, hubbard, dunno, but cool

The play sounds very professional, unfortunately it's hard to hear anything on this recording besides the cymbals that overwhelm all the rest. I felt like I been to real live performance at the 55 bar and sat right next to Claude Coleman Jr. :) But this is an old recording, of course Jazz is ageless, but don't you have something fresh to share with us?

Album piacevole dalla prima all'ultima traccia, armonico. Musica che crea un'atmosfera particolarmente evocativa old style, attraverso la quale ritrovare la magia del vero jazz d'autore. Dal vivo deve essere una favola. Copertina perfetta.

Interesting, though not really my style

I'm not really into jazz, so I downloaded this album as a sort of... uh, how to put it? Discovering new musical grounds. Nothing changed in my opinion about jazz - I was neither drawn closer nor pushed away. Still, jazz-lovers should find this album pretty satisfactory, I'd say, since it's a piece of really good musicianship.
