Jazz grows well in a city environment, … Full Descriptionthe sound of piano keys like points of light from a thousand windows, bass tones falling in patterns below like black streets shining in the rain. Relive a night in the NYC basement jazz club Iridium, with the bloom of music engulfing you like it did the audience that night. Pianist Barron explores sophisticated harmonic ideas while remaining eminently listenable. Haden's bass is no background support here, but a full partner, allowing one to experience the dark, wide places in one's consciousness where the flowers of ideas and feelings rest. Inspiring prose and poetry are also offered, in the liner notes by Rafi Zabor and Mark Strand.

Recorded live at Iridium, New York, New York from September 20-22, 1996. Includes liner notes by Rafi Zabor and Mark Strand.

Personnel: Charlie Haden (bass); Kenny Barron (piano).
