Jack Bruce,Vernon Reid,John Medeski,Cindy Blackman/Tokyo,Japan 12.16.2008 Vol.1

Part 1 of the definitive item from The Tony Williams Lifetime tribute live held exclusively in Japan with Jack Bruce at the end of 2008! A complete recording of the first stage on 12/16, the third day of the tour (second day in Tokyo), which was moved from Yokohama to Tokyo, with a sound quality that can only be described as “perfect”. I’m doing it. From the quiet start of the improvisational jam at the beginning, it seemed to get more intense for over 20 minutes, and the performance was so wonderful that it could be said that this day’s performance was the highlight of the entire tour. Just like “Play It Loud vol.2 (Wildlife Records-026)” which recorded the second set of the day, this is an amazing 24-bit digital remastering of the original master of the highest quality recorded from the very front of the venue. It is recorded with a high quality sound, and includes not only the great Jack who is full of jazz rock spirit, but also Vernon Reid, who has a guitar sound different from McLaughlin and Holdsworth, but plays surprisingly Lifetime-like, and a heartfelt performance that even brings in the Mellotron. John Medeski, who showed us the performance, and Cyndi Blackman, who perfectly reproduced the inhuman beating of “lead drummer Tony Williams,” a masterpiece that captures all the instruments with perfect balance and localization, an item of confidence. is. 01. opening 02.
