Love this The Carla Bley Audio as well, is it a releaed album? (I thought I knew/had most of them).
Gotta run, very sorry to miss this in real time, thanks David!

This is awfully good. Karin Krog is a great vocalist who never really got much attention in the US. She has a record with Dexter Gordon that is worth picking up if you come across it.

David, I checked out the video of Boo to You Too, and it doesn't seem to match the personnel of either of the recordings we came up with. Vincent Chancey is playing french horn on the video, and there are two trombonists visible. Neither Nick Mason nor the Berlin Jazz Fest recording lists this. So, it might be a TV appearance.
