Raw. The word is sometimes mistakenly substituted for “loud” or “raucous” or “rough”, but those are only approximations that don’t fully appreciate what raw really is. Raw is the uncooked, unpretentious, unplanned, improvised joy of existence in the moment, and these recordings exemplify the best of it, recorded during sets which were famous/infamous in their own way, but which were so stripped down that there was no possibility of pretense.
The acoustic set that comprises the first part of this CD is almost legendary now. It’s a short dinnertime acoustic set that became known as the “warm Christmas” set
