Pat Metheny played in various groupings at the 2003 Jazz Baltica Festival on July 5th and 6th. Apparently several of the groupings got either radio or TV time on European stations near to the festival date. One of the groupings is this particular quartet of amazing players. I got my copy of this in a cd-r trade long ago (many thanks to the trader who got this to me). The Dimebot archive shows this being on EZT in 2004 in audio form from roerkav, but it's only other appearances were in video form twice up to 2009.
Therefore, if the archive is correct, it appears to be quite some time since this great sounding show has made an appearance here. If that info is true, it's hoped that many folks might now be able to jump on something new to them from these great players. With the files open in Audacity, some very brief extraneous "backstage talk", presumably from to video side of things, had been retained on my audio discs. It had been along the lines of Mike Brecker asking "Has anyone seen my horn?" while Christian McBride might've been warming up in the background. I elected to remove that for this share, so that the music wouldn't have that sort of out of context break. That might also mean the track times now might vary a little bit for anyone having an earlier copy of this share. Nothing was done to change the character of the excellent audio files.

Presuming that this might somehow tie in to the roerkav EZT share, the lineage from that is pasted in below:
