Comments: Another great release from the folks at ZigZag. Discs 1 and 2 are from the July 4, 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival show, and do not suffer from the small dropouts that plague the otherwise excellent Gods Meeting from Blue Note. Discs 3 and 4 are the final show of the tour, in excellent mono soundboard quality. It's interesting to compare the performances, as they vary considerably, with the earlier performances far more restrained than the later. Packaging, as with 1998's ECEC release, is a plastic clamshell type with no inserts. Recommended.
