excellent shows, great songs; well played. Great disc. Music Lover: from Saint Louis, MO US -- November, 26, 2007

This disc, comprised of two lps of european concerts, has a nice mix of slow and fast songs. The songs are well played, the audience is polite enough to wait until the end to clap, and not ruin the music, and overall, it's a great disc. I'd also recommend Three Windows/For Ellington.
