Originally conceived as a double live album, but released as
a 10 song single LP in 1977, the Iconoclassic Records
reissue of Season of Lights…Laura Nyro in Concert restores
the set to its full 16 song length. The single LP version as
originally released contained a solo piano rendition of
"Timer," whereas a full band performance of that same song
was slated for release on the double album version. The
Iconoclassic CD includes both the solo and full band
versions.
One of the factors that makes this live release so
compelling is the involvement of jazz players (John Tropea,
Richard Davis, and Mike Mainieri) that had performed on
Nyro's then-current studio album Smile. As incredible as
Laura was when performing live solo with just her piano as
accompaniment, this is the place to experience her
interaction with a full live band.
Iconoclassic Records' deluxe CD reissue of Season of
Lights...Laura Nyro in Concert features signature tracks
from her early period ("And When I Die," "Sweet Blindness,"
"Emmie," etc.) mixed with newer songs from Smile and
exclusive material like "The Morning News" which was never
recorded in the studio and appears only here. Over 75
minutes of music remastered by Grammy®
Award winner Vic Anesini. Includes a 16 page booklet with
full lyrics and new liner notes by Nyro biographer Michele
Kort.
