SKU
EQ2CD 6006
“Shadows and Light is one of my favourite albums of all time so I was a bit nervous about this. The sound quality is not great, despite what the CD promises is remastered wonderfulness. I tried this on state of the art hi fi equipment which was not a good idea. I then put it on a cheap tatty CD player which lives in the kitchen and it is fine. It just sounds like a concert on the radio.
The performances are excellent and Pat's solo on Amelia is actually better than on S+D although it stops abruptly near the end and resumes on cd2 and segues into Hejira. There is a real energy here. This really is one of the best backing bands ever and the musicians are clearly having a ball. Metheny in particular is on fire. He even said that the set recorded for S+D was not as good as the other show which was taped but not used. So....as long as you don't expect hi fi sound you will find a lot to enjoy here including a number of tracks not on the first record.”
