Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a massively triumphant European tour, this explosive concert completely shatters the 'cool' designation with wildly uninhibited, intensely percussive vibraphone assaults. The incredibly joyous, fiercely swinging improvisations whipped the international theater audience into an absolute, undeniable frenzy.
