Garcia Peoples - 10-10-2019 Nublu, NYC '2020

Tracks list

Garcia Peoples bassist Andy Cush:

Listening back to the recording of this show, I remember standing onstage, eyes
closed, deep in concentration, hoping everything would hold together the way
it’s supposed to. It was the first (and to date the only) time
we’d ever played “One Step Behind” live as an ensemble with
Tom’s dad, the great saxophonist Bob Malach, who’d overdubbed his
contributions to the album version after the basic tracks were already in place.
Naturally, and happily, hardly anything went quite the way we expected onstage.
The music on this tape is at its most alive when you can hear us abandoning the
plan and surrendering to the unknown.

From the outset, we knew we wanted to push ourselves at this show to take
“One Step Behind” as far out as possible, searching at its
boundaries for previously undiscovered zones. I like to think we found a few. In
particular, there’s a groove-oriented stretch in the middle that we
played with more openness than ever before, which—for me, at
least—has directly impacted the performances we’ve given since
then. Perhaps by the time this tape comes out, we’ll be exploring
territories of “One Step Behind” that we didn’t even realize
existed back when it was recorded. A map only gets you so far. Sometimes you
just have to follow the sound.
