The long-awaited digital release of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Taylor Deupree's concert at St. John's Cathedral in London in 2014. Originally released as a double LP in 2016 by Thirty Three Thirty Three, in two editions, "Live In London" had yet to see a wider, digitally-distributed release as the LP editions did not come with a download option. Trailblazing Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto is joined by revered electronic musician Taylor Deupree on this live recording, documenting their collaboration at St John-at-Hackney Church in 2014 – part of Thirty Three Thirty Three’s flagship concert series ‘St John Sessions’.

However, Tristano is equally at home in contemporary and avant-garde music, regularly performing works by Berio, Cage, and Stravinsky, in addition to his own compositions.
