Thank you for putting this up.

Frisell channelling Terje Rypdal at the start.

Thank you so much - have been looking for a recording from this tour for years. Still angry at myself for missing it as I marvel at the self-titled studio date from mid tour. I knew someone who caught this group in the UK and who remarked that Frisell spent half the gig without playing or even holding the guitar. In an interview from the period Bley referred to the group ending due to Frisell "graduating" - a euphemism for his pay-scale rising which necessitated him cutting his input to honour the contract?

Cuatro y cincuenta y ocho; veintiuno de julio de dos mil veinticuatro; Bogotá D.C., Colombia.

Motian is unbelievably one of the under-recognized greats. He's still one of my very favorites. From Evans to Jarrett to his own (over 30) great albums. His musical evolution was oh so seamless and a wonder to behold. It must've been great to hear such a concert in that setting. I saw a few at the MoMa outdoor garden in the early to mid-noughts, but nothing as cool as this. Thanks, as always, for the upload!

Obviously Old Man Scho isn't as good as Joni Mitchell otherwise he'd be in the Rolling Stones top 250 guitarist list 🤔😯🤣😡🙄🙄😡🙃😯🫤.. my God almighty 🙄🙄🙄

Wow, some Wes type octaves..haven’t heard him do those too often.

Mike is a quirky nut and I love him. Nice post...

Think the second tune is Yesterday’s not Alone Together but they are both in D minor

Stern in full flow . Another thing to aim for if only . I can hear all the minor lines on the first track but the endless flow is crazy . I just uploaded some Jazz on here and Spotify, silk street vibrations by the Mike Edmonds Quintet . You might like it , good version of Hot House . Thank you for this it’s top class , Mike Stern is a big inspiration. So are the other guys , like the videos of Harvie s with Pat martino

The tunes are as follows.. "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise", "Yesterdays" and lastly "Sonnymoon for Two", a blues written by Sonny Rollins. Thanks for the content.. Mike is an all-time favorite.

That's too bad about the cuts, because Victor Lewis is a monster. He went on to become the drummer in Bobby Watson's fantastic group, Horizon.

Great set list!

this is so sick

Great playing. Recording is a half step low.

I was wondering how Moore ended up in Bley's orbit, so I looked him up. Turns out he played on the two Bley synthesizer show early 70s albums (one with Annette Peacock). Then a year later, he played on Peacock's "I'm the One". He's done about a dozen sideman dates.

I agree with your comments on Glenn Moore. Oregon was a great bridge for me, 45 years ago, from trippy hippie music in jazz. I guess maybe he was more of a homebody, unlike Ralph Towner, and didn’t want to spend his time away from Oregon seeking out adventurous musical settings. Very cool recording. A lost chapter, a missing link, a road washed away…

I also caught a night of this run, was a fun gig. Glad you taped some! Thanks for posting.

Thanks a lot. The tune at minute 18 appears as "Blues Waltz" on Bley's album "Live at Sweet Basil". Same band but Red Mitchell on bass.

I was at one of these concerts, thanks for posting - great guitar synth playing by Abercrombie!!

Killer ad hoc band with excellent results. A gem. 👍👍❤

Talk about click bait! ❤😁😁😉

Wonderful.Thanks for having the foresight in recording this when Sony Walkmans were THE cutting edge of tech...and Paul Bley is / was one of our national treasures .

Wow. Bley and Abercrombie.

Kenny sounds like Herbie!!!!

I had twilight time .its like way outta print tho... This is s good representation of what Bennie was doing at the tail end if the mini jazz renaissance .. . Also it's a great example of playing so called trad jazz while being NOT a museum piece gathering dust somewhere .

Paul Bley & John Scofield /Steve Swallow /Barry Altschul.. in the bad old days of NYC 1985 whilst the city was in the throws af the newly minted Crack epidemic ..there were also the throws of the end of the mini jazz renaissance. And also the transition of the NY club scene to something else . Here at a Downtown jazz club we have stalwarts playing ..... yup playing .!just a wonderful share here. .thanks .

1st tune is "My Ideal". Love this band fresh from Wynton's "Think of One" album. Beautiful thanks you!

This is very close to the first time I heard this band, in Ann Arbor. They played Paraphernalia then too. A lot of circular breathing on those long held notes on the theme, which freaked us kids out but was... secondary to everything else that goes on in that tune

Thank you very much for sharing this, Stephen! The opening selection is the standard, "My Ideal", and the closing selection is Wayne Shorter's "Paraphernalia".

This man has been criticized as a "purist" and a sell out for ages. One thing is for certain, though. He is and has always been an exceptional musician who has produced many great, not just good recordings. As far as being a purist goes....hell, he's recorded collaborations with both Willie Nelson and Eric Clapton. LOL

I am a HUGE fan! Berne has always been interesting, and never boring. I tend to gravitate to musicians who take chances. If you lack balls, I have no time for you. Kinda the reason why I love Fripp and his changing Crimson up 8 or 9 times.

Thank you Stephen. I saw this band around that time in London (with Michael DiPasqua). It was my introduction to David Torn and I've been a huge fan of his ever since - as a player and a producer. This set takes me back to that time, a great year for concerts for me. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing the recording. An amazing band.

what a groove, killing rythmin session

terrific playing -thanks for a great upload.

I love weird jazz❤😊

Thank you for sharing this gem.

Awesome, thanks for uploading!

Thank you so much Stephen-this is amazing-what a band! I'm a big fan of Erskine but I've rarely heard him play like he does on this set-awesome.Your downloads are without equal IMHO.

Thanks for the upload

BUTCH MORRIS 's Conductions were a great contribution to improvised ensemble playing. He is missed .

Jazz gold. 🪙 Thank you for sharing this.

Back in the days when giants ruled the Earth….. thank you for posting :-)

Great !!!!

Darryl, not Daryl.

Oh Wow what a treat Joe is one of THE greats .. Fred Hersch here relatively young compared to the rest of the group...carrying the band . Beautifully.

Fantastic band, thanks for sharing

Thanks for posting !!
