It's definitely one of the most important jazz releases of the past decade. The DVD is wonderful also.
The music on these live CD's is a revelation although if you're not already familiar with the studio recordings of this group and the stellar live recordings from the plugged nickel you should start with those....These recordings are an extension, an evolution of one of the greatest ensembles in the history of jazz that will offer more insight when heard in context.
