with thanks to whoever posted this a couple of weeks ago and alerted me to its existence.

You're welcome.  Hope you liked it.

Now playing:

From an era when jazz was popular enough that this concert (as was also the case on Vol. 1 of these recordings) was presented/recorded at a high school!  Could you imagine jazz musicians today of the stature of Gerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims, Chico Hamilton, Bob Brookmeyer being able to play a series of concerts at high school venues?

Yes, it happens often.

One of his better efforts of the past 25 years.  Several strong songs here and many of them only became stronger as Van Morrison polished them in his live performances.

Time to give it another try, I think. I've struggled with his output since 'No Method...' which I absolutely love as I do most of his other releases up to it

I just don't hear any depth either to the music, it all seems reduced to the barest ingredients, or to the lyrics of which there seems to be far too many moaning about having to be a misunderstood rock star. At each release I listen expectantly for it to be the one but not yet, for me at least.
