Background
editThey toured Europe between October 22 and November 23, 2008, subsequently touring North America, and went on to Asia in early 2009 with Brian Blade on drums.[2]
Reception
editThe album was very well received, winning the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
John Kelman in his All About Jazz review said "Running the gamut from straight-ahead to balls-out fusion, Five Peace Band Live is a rare opportunity to hear two masters create something that references both of their careers but combines to create something with its own distinct personality.".[3]
