About

This album contains much of the same material as the excellent In Concert-Carnegie Hall recording, with two exceptions. “Hold On I’m Coming” is a studio track that was obviously added as a commercial hook, but sounds contrived. The other addition here is the impressive “No Sooner Said Than Done,” a live track also taken from the Carnegie Hall concert. If “Take Five” were included here, this would be the same recording as the In Concert-Carnegie Hall recording.
