DESCRIPTION

Limited edition of 1,000 copies worldwide!!!!A great live album by the later multiple Grammy Award winner and composer of the Miami Vice soundtrack Jan Hammer at the Bottom Line Club in New York in 1975 - An excellent line-up alongside Jan Hammer with Fernando Saunders (Lou Reed, Suzanne Vega), Tony Smith (Malo) and Steve Kindler (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Oregon) - Available physically (on CD) for the first time (for fans of Weather Report, Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Czech-American jazz pianist, exceptional keyboarder and composer Jan Hammer is best known for his music for films and television series.



In 1984 he was commissioned to write the theme and background music for the new American crime series "Miami Vice". In November 1985, the Miami Vice soundtrack stormed to the top of the US Billboard charts. With over four million copies sold (the CD had just taken over the market), the album went four times platinum in the US. At the Grammy Awards in February 1986, Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme" won two awards.



The Czech-born musician had previously made a name for himself as a member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, as a Minimoog player on Joni Mitchell's "Mingus" album and through his collaborations with musicians such as Jerry Goodman, Jeff Beck, Al Di Meola, Journey guitarist Neal Schon and John Abercrombie.



From 1975 he also toured successfully with the Jan Hammer Group. With excellent musicians such as bassist Fernando Saunders (Lou Reed, Suzanne Vega, etc.), drummer Tony Smith from the Latin rock band Malo and, above all, violinist Steve Kindler (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Hammer laid the foundation for a unique, spacey, psychedelic fusion. Best experienced at their 1975 New York concert, now finally available on CD.
