Malo - MALO LIVE AT MUDDY (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Since the birth of the record in the early 20th century, producers of records have had one dream: to record live performances of musicians in front of a live audience, rather than recording in a controlled studio. This dream was able to reach its full realization in the late 1940s with the advent of the reel tape recording medium and the LP that could play those recordings.

Many types of music have been released as albums through live recordings, but jazz is the genre that has produced the most live albums. This is because jazz was performed routinely in clubs and new works were released in the process. Unlike other musics that released their works through studio recordings, jazz has always released new works through live performances. And these were delivered to a wider audience through recordings.

Therefore, while live recordings in other music are a 'special version' different from studio recordings, it is different in jazz. In jazz, live versions are often the actual originals. Duke Ellington's masterpiece 'Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue' was recorded as early as 1937, but it gained its current fame thanks to the 15-minute long improvisation re-recorded on the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival live album. Bill Evans' famous song 'Waltz for Debby' was already recorded on his first studio album in 1956, but not many people remember that recording. This song was also imprinted in people's hearts through a 7-minute live recording at the Village Vanguard Club in 1961. The reason is clear. The charm of jazz lies above all in improvisation, and that improvisation naturally and passionately flows out through unspoken interaction with the audience.
