Wow – that link to the milesmiles list contains some pretty important information. The post is from trumpet player Michael McLaughlin, who taped this show and said it was “one of the best things I ever saw in my life.” But McLaughlin says also that he ran into Palle Danielsson a few years later with another band:

“I asked Palle if he remembered that night in Minnesota. His eyes lit up and he said, that was the best gig we ever did! It was fantastic! I carry a copy of it with me everywhere. And he reached into his backpack and pulled out a cassette of it. He said probably half of the concert was improvised, he said they just went for it.”

So not only does Danielsson agree this was their finest hour, but he actually had a recording of it – presumably one of better province than Michael’s audience recording. Who knows, maybe that version will be an ECM “archival” release one day….

Sadly, I also learned that McLaughlin passed away earlier this year.

Thanks for all the information from that discussion.
