In the summer of 1994, the legendary New Morning club rose from its
ashes in Geneva for the duration of a memorable Jazz and Blues for TV
Festival.
Manhattan taxi driver-turned-jazz saxophone specialist Bob Berg lights
up the stage of the New Morning Jazz and Blues for TV Festival in this
1994 performance that finds him backed by such talented musicians as
Niels Lan Doky, Alvin Queen, and Pierre Boussaguet. While his tragically
brief career was cut short by a fatal traffic accident in 2002, the
remarkable legacy left behind by the former member of Miles Davis' band
is undeniable. In addition to six classic tunes by the New York jazz
legend, this release also offers a 2001 interview with Berg conducted in
London, and the bonus track "Nancy with the Laughing
Face."
