Pat Metheny Trio & Nils Landgren/Live Germany 2006

A special live performance led by Pat Metheny Trio + Nils Lundgren with a gorgeous guest lineup on the Jazzbaltica stage held in Germany on June 30, 2006, from the broadcast master video. , almost the full 82 minutes recorded with official professional shots. Metheny Trio with Scott Colley on bass, Nils’s return to Japan with the reunited CRUSADERS and FUNK UNIT is fresh in our memories, and the festival is packed with surprises unique to the festival, held separately from each stage, featuring the duo of Pat and Nils. The band opened with “My Funny Valentine” and “Picasso,” and the trio and saxophone player Marcus Strickland joined in for the third song, “When We Were Free.” After that, I thought Marcus would leave, but Bobo Stenson appeared and began a duet with Nils on “Don’t Go To Stranger”, which was a breathless development. One of the highlights of this work is of course the trombone play, but also the full-throttle Nils section from the opening “My Funny ~”. In addition, Marcus returned, and “African Skies” began with a super luxurious quintet of old and new in full color. And now, on stage where the excitement has reached its peak in the world of blissful sounds, the soul legend of the new century, Raul Midon, appears on stage! “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely” is full of persuasiveness, a whirlpool of emotion, and the sounds that are spun out will tell you everything. The show ended with everyone performing Eddie Harris’s “Freedom Jazz Dance.” A must-have for jazz fans! The recording time is 82 minutes in professional format with menu chapters.
