Om utgivelsen
This electrifying trio recording was captured in 1996 in the intimate confines of John Engels’ underground studio in Amsterdam. For decades, it circulated unofficially as a treasured bootleg among musicians and jazz aficionados. Tunes like Sweet Georgia Brown, Ghost of a Chance, Devil May Care, and Indiana are reimagined through sophisticated improvisation and intricate new melodic lines. The result is a refreshing perspective on familiar repertoire. Notably, Halperin’s pioneering use of sound effects on his tenor saxophone adds an experimental layer to the session, deeply influencing the group’s interaction and creating a distinctive sonic atmosphere.
