Miroslav Vitous/Germany 1980

With the release of the official album “First Meeting” released by the ECM label in 1980, a special live performance was held as a promotion, and a live stage recording of the sound board sound source was released, which surprised maniacs. The members are John Thurman, an old friend from the days of Vitous and Weather Report and ECM’s signature saxophonist, Kenny Kirkland, who is popular for his stylish piano playing in collaboration with major jazz players and even backing Sting, on the piano, and the drums. This is a heavyweight quartet consisting of Jon Christensen, another heavyweight of the ECM label. The core of the band seems to be Kenny Kirkland, and his dry piano with a very driving feel contrasts with John Thurman’s intense saxophone, and the way he expresses himself varies from song to song. You can enjoy until.
