Jamie Muscato said, “I’m thrilled to be releasing this live album, recorded during an unforgettable weekend at Cadogan Hall—one of the finest concert venues in the country. I wanted to capture the true essence of those performances: the spontaneous energy, the audience’s reactions, and the incredible improvisations from the band under the direction of Sam Young. I really think we bottled the magic of that room. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.”
