In jazz we trust

Back in 2006 Don Airey and Ian Paice performed at the ProLight+Sound trade show in Frankfurt, Germany. Turns out that a recording was up on Youtube all this time, without us being aware. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Don Airey — keyboards
Ian Paice — drums
Thomas Blug — guitar
Alvin Mills — bass
Thijs van Leer — flute, vocals, & additional keyboards
Mario Argandoña — percussion

Fun fact: the opening tune is a none other than the Billy Cobham’s ubiquitous fusion standard Stratus, originally performed on the Cobham’s 1973 solo album Spectrum by Tommy Bolin. That recording quite possibly led Tommy to land the Purple gig.

Thanks to Thomas Blug for the video and to Nigel Young for bringing it to your attention.
