Van Morrison

In 1988, right around the time of the live recording at the Voss Jazz Festival, Van Morrison was basking in the glow of his earlier works, including the album "Poetic Champions Compose," which had been released just a few years prior in 1987. This album notably explored themes of love and Celtic influences, showcasing Morrison's deep connection to his roots. During the performance at Voss Kino, he brought his distinctive voice and soulful energy to the stage, backed by The Rune Klakegg Band. Fans might find it interesting that Morrison's live shows around this time not only included his classics but also allowed him to experiment with jazz, creating a unique fusion that resonated well with audiences. So, it’s a moment that embodies his artistic evolution, where he was transitioning into new creative territories while honoring his foundational style.
