Van Morrison

In the live recording from the Brecon Jazz Festival on August 7, 1998, Van Morrison showcased his signature blend of jazz, R&B, and soul at a pivotal moment in his career. This performance came shortly after the release of his 1998 album 'The Healing Game', which was a return to form and explored themes of love and spirituality, reflecting Morrison's own journey toward self-discovery. Interestingly, during this time, he was also reconnecting with his roots in jazz music, a passion that has always influenced his work. The energy at the Market Hall was palpable, as fans had gathered for a late-night show filled with Morrison's magnetic charisma and classic hits like 'I Forgot That Love Existed'. It’s a delightful glimpse into his artistry during a deeply creative phase, bridging past influences with contemporary sounds.
