Lounge Lizards - Live in Berlin 1991 Vol. 1

Formed in 1978 by saxophonist John Lurie as a satirical take on the jazz combo, The Lounge Lizards evolved into a powerhouse ensemble by 1991, blending humor with sophisticated musicianship. Live in Berlin 1991 Vol. 1 captures the band at its peak, featuring a stellar lineup with Michael Blake (saxophones), Steven Bernstein (trumpet), and Bryan Carrott (vibraphone), among others. Recorded over several nights at Quartier Latin in Berlin, the album highlights their genre-defying sound-fusing jazz, avant-garde, and contemporary elements-through spirited improvisations and intricate interplay.

This live recording is a testament to the band's wit, dynamism, and transformative journey from parody to mastery.
