CD Front Insertnow it’s time for some pharoah sanders!  i can’t really listen to very much & do anything else, as it’s just too distracting.  so giving this a good listen has been difficult, but now it’s the weekend… enjoy!

a – from tv transmission.

so this appears to be the audience recording.

sticking with that “graz” theme, here’s another that i downloaded at around the same time (mid 2011), also from a performance in graz.  but the similarities end there a bit… 11 trombonists vs 2 pianists?  hmmm.  both good, a bit different though.

the announcer does chat a bit between tracks, though, but not too much (unlike, say, most french announcers).
