Van Morrison

In July 2001, during the North Sea Jazz Festival, Van Morrison delivered a captivating performance at the Statenhal in The Hague. Just prior to this live recording, he had released the album 'Down the Road' in 1999, which continued to showcase his rich blend of jazz, folk, and rock influences. This album included tracks that explored his signature themes of love, longing, and self-reflection. Interestingly, Van Morrison is known for his improvisational style in live performances, often diverging from studio arrangements, which is likely on display in this festival show. His ability to connect deeply with the audience through his music still resonates today, making this festival performance a highlight in his vibrant career.
