Van Morrison

In 1987, just before this live recording at Ishøj Kulturcafé, Van Morrison had released his album 'No Guru, No Method, No Teacher' in 1986. This album marked a return to his introspective roots, featuring a blend of jazz, blues, and folk influences that were characteristic of his storied career. At this point, he was solidifying his reputation as a profound lyricist and performer, experimenting with orchestration, which can be felt in the lush sound that accompanies his live performances. An interesting tidbit about this concert is that Morrison was joined by The Danish Radio Big Band, showcasing his ability to merge different musical styles and cultures. It was a stage where his soul-stirring vocals resonated with both the intensity and tenderness that he's famous for, making this performance a memorable moment in his artistic journey.
