Mike Mainieri - Northern Lights-A Special Concert: Live from Rainbow Studio (2010) [Hi-Res]

American / Scandinavian "supergroup". A Band of bandleaders! Hearing Norwegian saxophonist Bendik Hofseth on a tape, jazz legend Mike Mainieri fell in love with the Scandinavian sound and attitude as an alternative to the New York style music community he was a part of, including legend friends like Steve Gadd, Brecker Brothers and of course Mike himself. Bendik replaced Michael Brecker in Steps Ahead. 20 years later Mike initiated Northern Lights after a visit in Oslo recording the first album Northern Lights at Bugge's Room 2006. Concluding a musically very successful European tour march 2010 the band decided to follow up with a new recording. The recording took place in Rainbow Studio August 2010. As a part of the recording a very special concert was given inside Rainbow in front of a great and dedicated audience.
