Notes:
Amazing collaboration between one of the world's best pop/jazz orchestra's and the Robert Glasper Experiment. Vince Mendoza wrote orchestral arrangements for several tracks from Robert Glasper's discography, from his Trio to his Experiment work.

This is a great quality audience recording. It's not flawless, some contact noise, camera shutter closing and zippers of camera bags opening & closing can be heard, but not very noticable, nor often. Since I was located somewhat at the rightside of the center of the room, the musicians of the orchestra at that side are more audible than the left side. I think it's not disturbing, nor very noticable, but check the samples first if you're not sure.

I also included some photos of the show in a separate folder, so you can choose to download them or not.
