It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

'Those studios are a killing environment for the musical pulse."

I have to disagree and offer that the live environment provides the particular spark that ignites what might be smoldering and ready to flare. But mostly I guess its comparing apples and orangejuice...

Audience vibe, being on the road, the nurturing and developement of the tunes, ideas for new/different arrangements and the basic principle of the jazz musician to...recreate (that's NOT replicate...)...always make the live performance different than the studio date. At least it should. It offers the opportunity to "burn" if desired. Or not. Maybe tomorrow night... Live jazz in the right hands equals many options.

I really like "Lontano"- it's of the same mold as "Suspended Night" - and I doubt the studio setting squashed any pulse. I suspect they recorded exactly what they wanted to present.

Wish I'd caught the band when they passed through here a couple weeks ago. Bet THAT show was even considerably different than the Boston gig...
