It sounds a bit like they were playing in a hotel lobby: teacups clink, throats are cleared, glasses smash, and the occasional telephone lingers unanswered. The difference, of course, is that EMI shouldn’t have left all that noise on the recording. At (Le) Poisson Rouge, that, along with the food, drink, and moody lighting, is all part of the experience.
