Mick Taylor s return to the States happened finally in early May when his appearance at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tv show was followed by a week long commitment at New York s Iridium Jazz Club; the initial back up band Taylor s band for all the Iridium nights except the last on the 14^th  consisted of Bernard Purdie on drums, Wilbur Bascomb on bass, Max Middleton on keyboards, Hamish Stuart on second guitar and Arno Hecht on sax. The final night however was a different band featuring just Middleton on keyboards and Jeff Allen on drums as they were joined by the Les Paul Trio (Lou Pallo on guitar, John Collianni on piano and Nicky Parrott on bass): this double concert was streamed live by Iridium management and here it is, just the final parts of each show featuring Mick Taylor. The two shows have slightly different set list, anyway classic live Taylor tuned are featured, on the first set there is the rare appearance of Morning Comes, a jazz tinged tune rarely played live that is particularly apt to the ambient scene while on the second set there is the encore of No Expectations. Taylor s playing is good but not at his best, it is hard to understand if he is a bit rusty because of the time he has been far from the stage or tired because of a week with two shows a night just ending. Anyway there are good moments but also some hesitations at times and a sort of lack of fluidity in changing to and from slide on the same song. The Les Paul Trio accompanies the songs with some sort of academic approach and although at times gives a different flavour to the music, other times their playing is a bit too scholastic to be remarkable. It was a good night though and hopefully more to come, on a previous night it was announced the shows were recorded for a future official release, maybe on the newly born Iridium label?
