Release dates are subject to alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA rare moment in jazz history is captured on this exceptional live recording from July 1978, featuring saxophonist Eric Kloss and pianist Barry Miles at the peak of their creative powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat unfolded on stage at the Burgerzentrum Neue-Vahr in Bremen, Germany was nothing short of extraordinary, a performance that critics immediately hailed as one of the finest duo concerts ever heard in the city. Their appearance at the Berliner Jazztage only reinforced this acclaim, with reviewers praising the duo's remarkable interplay, intensity, and artistic daring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBarry Miles, a pioneering force in early jazz fusion, began his musical life as a drummer before switching to piano at nineteen. His technical brilliance and expressive sensitivity shine throughout this recording, performed entirely on acoustic grand piano. Shortly after these duo performances, Miles would embark on a fifteen-year tenure as musical director for Roberta Flack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEric Kloss, blind from birth, devoted himself wholly to music. He recorded his first album for Prestige at the astonishing age of sixteen and later collaborated with giants such as Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette. His alto saxophone work here is a testament to why he is considered one of the most gifted improvisers of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn Kloss Ecounters, Live in Bremen 1978, the duo performs self-composed tracks such as \"Mystic Circles\", \"Kloss Encounters\", \"Michelle\" and the standard \"My One And Only Love\" written by Guy Wood and Robert Mellin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKloss Encounters, Live in Bremen 1978, stands as one of the great duo recordings in jazz and is available as a first-ever on vinyl release and includes new liner-notes by Timeless Records founder Wim Wigt. Affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e\nDisc 1\u003cbr\u003e\nSide 1\u003cbr\u003e\n1.
