Seeding this and another Directions show that had fallen off the tracker. I got this here on DIME about 7 or 8 years ago. Not sure who'd seeded it then. This and the other Directions show I'm reseeding feature the players who were central to 2 ECM albums Jack did around this time, Untitled and New Rags. Untitled included Warren Bernhardt on piano, but he seemingly was no longer in the group for these 2 dates.Jack has done some amazing work in his many years of recording and playing. I don't think that this particular ensemble gets that much attention in that body of work, but it was a fine band who produced some good records and these live shows that I'm reseeding.
This show had been seeded as "The Jack DeJohnette Quartet", but I've changed that to the actual band name that was used on the albums at this time, which was Directions.
Thanks to whoever recorded these shows, and to those who've shared them. Please support the musicians you admire by paying to see them live, and by purchasing their officially released material.
