Broadcast on 26th April 1990, just a year before Johnny died the following April 23rd. Filmed in Ireland for the Nighthawks programme.

Jamey's sax work here is beautiful. Sounds like Sunday night in a small club in New York or Chicago.
Was Johnny really in his element when he was playing acoustic?
