This title released this time is a live reproduction of the duo’s first work “Playing the Room”, and in addition to the atmosphere that makes you feel the sharp tension peculiar to ECM, the relaxed performance is attractive because of the two’s breathing. I am. The opening song is “Azalea” by Ellington, and unlike the album take, you will be fascinated by the magnificent world that lasts for 9 minutes. Don Cherry’s “Art Deco”, which is not included in the album, is also performed and this is a must-listen take. Also, in Coltrane’s “Crescent”, you will be enchanted by the impressive take of over 14 minutes, which is a masterpiece performance on a different scale from the studio recording. In addition to the ECM elements throughout the live performance, the two performers emphasize melody, making it a wonderful live performance that will leave you immersed in a pleasant aftertaste.
