REVIEW:

This recording comes from a newly spread master tape of soundboard origin of a concert held at Banksville, New York s Krypton club, a venue that has somehow always been identified as located at Armonk but that is at Banksville. As described by the uploader the recording was done with permission from Taylor that allowed the taper to plug into the sound board and therefore we have a beautiful recording of this late May 88 show, a concert that has circulated before but this version is taken from the master tape, still it is puzzling why it is mono. Taylor s playing is at his best although strangely the guitars and bass volume are not very high in the mix especially at the beginning of the concert, somehow unbalanced in relation to the keyboards and drums; that however does not preclude the enjoyment of this recording that shows Taylor s abilities playing the music that he better feels suits him with notes stretched due to his fantastic long vibrato and he is well supported by a versatile band that allows his freedom of expression throughout blues standards or original tunes like Goin South that is here displayed for 17 minutes, It Hurts Me Too 14 minutes plus while Can t You Hear Me Knocking is here lasting only 6 minutes. The 1988 version of Taylor s band included Shayne Fontayne as second guitarist, Wilbur Bascomb as bass player and Bernard Purdie on drums. Packaging is very good as far as the visual side of this release, however breaking this concert in 2 discs is a patent exploitation by this label, as 90 minutes cdr are hugely available.
