It’s a miracle in itself to have such a gorgeous group of top players come together, but there was no sense of congeniality that is common in these sessions, and Kenny’s attitude towards the music was very serious. The stage is full of tension and is worth listening to. In addition, the three songs are long, over 70 minutes long, and feature plenty of solos by top players, making it a must-see for fans. Participating members of interest include master Lee Konitz, Evan Parker, Stan Saltzman, Henry Roser, Ray Worley, John Parcelli, Dave Holland, Martin France, and the person who plays the role of leading this large household. The person selected for the role was Gwilym (Killermo) Simcock, a pupil of Kenny’s ally and one of Britain’s most famous pianists, John Taylor, and an up-and-coming pianist who has recently attracted attention from around the world with the quartet formed by Pat Metheny. . Toshihide was 24 years old at the time, and was said to be a talented person who would lead the jazz world in the future. Of course, he has now grown into a pianist representing a new generation. In addition, Norma Winston, conductor Hugh Fraser, and a total of 21 people. Amid the dreamy and dreamy sound typical of Kenny throughout the album, Konitz is intelligent and sharp, Parker’s intense tone is instantly recognizable, Simcock adds beautiful color to the song with a fresh sensibility, even if he plays a little too much, and Angel’s. There are no words needed for the beautiful solos of Norma, Baselli, and Holland, the dynamic and dazzling ensemble by the skilled horn corps, and Kenny’s neat and beautiful sound and silvery play… Live at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London ,UK January.14.2005 EX-SBD 2019 Original Remaster 72min 1.
