"Today’s set on The Jazz Hole Live is special, not only musically, but also in terms of the venue. It was recorded outdoors, surrounded by nature, in the garden lawn of a little cabin. Argentine legend Rodrigo Domínguez (soprano and tenor saxophones, claps) and the sought-after Matthew Golombisky (acoustic bass guitar, elephant bells, live sampling) spent several months in the same area in Patagonia, Rodrigo in San Martín de Los Andes and Matthew in Quila Quina, so they planned a couple of socially distant, open-air, yard concerts in front of neighbors and locals. Amid flowing rivers, crystal clear lakes, gigantic Andes mountains, hypnotizing flora and fauna and exotic birds calling, they recorded a truly magical experience.
