A live recording featuring the Pat Metheny Quartet. Although billed as a quartet, the four musicians are the core members of the Pat Metheny Group. The setlist includes compositions by Pat Metheny alongside works by Charlie Haden, Ornette Coleman, and Herbie Hancock—a somewhat rare repertoire for this specific lineup performing as a quartet. Furthermore, a performance in such an intimate live music venue is a rarity. The recording is a high-quality audience capture that successfully conveys the atmosphere of the venue. During remastering, loud cheers occurring in close proximity to the microphone were edited out to avoid startling the listener.
