The Magic of Live is a panel discussion about the art of the live album in jazz. A panel of jazz experts — Caroline Fontanieu, Jane Cornwell and Daniel Spicer — explores whether live recordings, from Keith Jarrett's iconic Koln Concert to bootlegs and non-studio recordings, deserve a special place in jazz fans' collections. The talk asks which albums jazz fans consider the best and whether listeners should listen differently to live recordings. It is brought to you by Everything Jazz as part of The Jazz Social.
