Ron Carter, Renee Rosnes, Jimmy Green and Payton Crossley finish the music magic we experienced on Foursight: Stockholm, Vol. 1 ''Live'' at the Stockholm jazz club "Fasching"!

''What a mood, what an atmosphere! It's hard to believe that this actually took place on November 17, 2018! We listen to a jazz concert that sounds like it was recorded in the last millennium at Mintonʼs Playhouse in New York, or perhaps in Birdland or Village Vanguard: euphoric, unique, unrepeatable, because on evenings like this everything simply fits together, the signs are favorable, the musicians really enjoy playing and the audience pushes them constantly to the absolute limit. It is not even possible to predict when such will even be possible again in the future...

If you want to decipher the secret of this legend, the two audio documents from the Swedish jazz club provide valuable insights. Following ''Stockholm Vol. 1'' (IOR CD77139-2), the second part ''Stockholm Vol. 2'' is being released. A late work full of maturity, natural authority of numerous surprises without subsequent corrections or edits. Carter and the Foursight Quartet operate at a different intensity level compared to their predecessor volume. ''595'' and ''Mr. Bow Tie'' (and later the reprise), two shimmering compositions by the clever gentleman, obtain a feather-light, elegant tang here. With ''Flamenco Sketches'' by Carter's former partner, friend and ''boss'' Miles Davis, he transposes one of his best-known songs into his vocabulary. Then the passionate motorist sends ''You Are My Sunshine'' onto the music highway with the help of Jimmy Green and dims the light in a fascinating way along with Renee Rosnes in Miles' favorite piece ''My Funny Valentine''. Each song is a tribute without specific addressees, a message to many friends, wives and men, strangers, all those who are no longer on the earthly stage, ''who left the concert early...'' ''

Press Quotes

And when doesn't the grand old man of the bass not hit it out of the park? The most recorded bass player in history, he gives us more of an easy going date where he plays like he has nothing to prove and wants to have fun with his pals delivering a good time. Making it look all too easy, the righteously grand master gives a master class in how to get it done right and the audience just eats it up. This is a paragon of giving straight ahead a good name. Hot stuff.
