Official Digital Download – Source: HDTracks | © 2xHD – Naxos
This album captures more of the magic recorded in December 1976 over two nights at the intimate Pawnshop jazz club in Stockholm, now considered among of the most famous audiophile recording in music. Both the musicianship and the engineering are peerless on this enduring classic: the recording engineer used one pair of microphones spaced eight inches apart for the main pick-up, with a couple of microphones placed to register the “live” atmosphere and a few discrete support mikes, all recorded on a pair of two-track Nagra tape recorders in the restaurant kitchen! These live songs have already appeared on the 30th anniversary triple album edition of Jazz At The Pawnshop.
