Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars My long-treasured vinyl has finally been replaced.......2006-05-11

This is a truly stellar piece of work--great guitar playing, an incredible rhythm section and a terrific band of supporting players. The remastering is fantastic. An effective blend of prog-rock and jazz, this too-short (less then 40 minutes) live CD offers a glimpse of a master at the top of his game.

5 out of 5 stars Wow, I've found it!.......2003-02-25

I've been looking for this album for over 20 years now, I've looked all over the world for CD version.

5 out of 5 stars Long Searched for CD Worth the Wait.......2001-03-23

I originally purchased this album 22 years ago when it was first released and searched high and low for it on CD since. This has remained one of my 'deserted island' albums.

Recorded at the Montreaux Jazz Fest in 78, Jan Akkerman headlines a 7 man group which displays great depth and talent. All make contributions in subtle and more dramatic ways. As five of the seven tracks are longer than six minutes, each gets their chance to shine. I do get the idea that these tunes are interpreted in a minimalist way; that is each note is important, not just filler.

This CD is faithful to the vynal. That's a compliment as well, as the original was very well mixed with great sonic imaging. It is able to combine the spontonaity of live music with the quality of a studio mix.
