That was great! I loved it. Very Happy

Thank you for making it available for us to enjoy!

Did you hear Robben, on Lateral Climb, sing "What once was a 'Euro' is looking more like a dime" Laughing

The two BB King songs were great, as were the two newbies... Minor Flirtation and The Meaning of the Blues.

I liked the piano part on Up the Line; it really caught my attention.

An excellent live recording -- vocals and all -- it's great. The best way to spend Black Friday! Very Happy

The big question - what did Robben do in Copenhagen for a week?
Christmas shopping at Ströget or singing Christmas carols at Tivoli?
He came the on monday, and "worked with the band for three days", the concert took place on friday.
I know he's recorded with a danish group before. Maybe some Big Band thing?

The Meaning of the Blues...I have loved this tune since I first heard it played beautifully by Michael Brecker.
Robben really does it justice.

Thank you Frank!! I never imagined hearing Robben playing with a big band. Thank you for sharing!

By chance do you know the title of the opening piece where the band starts off without Robben, then they introduce him over the vamping band...

Another thanks of appreciation!

I couldn't help but wonder if the Danish crowd were also thinking to themselves that "real men don't eat quiche" while hearing Lateral Climb... Laughing
