Standing Under the Bright Lights — Live from Festival International De Jazz De Montreal | alexhenryfoster.com
Genre: Psychedelic rock
Key track: Winter Is Coming In
This Montreal psychedelic rocker describes his debut solo album Windows in the Sky as an “emotional detox” following the loss of his father. Invited to play the 40th anniversary of the renowned Montreal jazz festival, his sold out show became an homage to his late parent and something of a final expulsion of his mixed emotions. In other words, the nine songs taken from this performance that make up this show are so different from their studio versions they stand up as “new.” This is the kind of live album that used to establish artists in the seventies.
