Jazz Explosion Superband (Allan Holdsworth, Stanley Clarke, Randy Brecker) – New York, USA – May 2, 1988 – Soundboard Edition

This release features a soundboard recording of the Jazz Explosion Superband’s performance in Poughkeepsie, New York, on February 5, 1988, during their North American tour. The Jazz Explosion Superband—a limited-run unit formed around Stanley Clarke—is known for having extremely few live recordings in existence, and this title unearths one such performance. Although the source master tape suffered from poor quality and noticeable hiss, restoration work has been applied to ensure a well-balanced mix of the instruments, allowing you to enjoy the music in the best possible condition.
