The Living Room Tapes, Vol. 1 is an album by Canadian jazz guitarist Lenny Breau and clarinetist Brad Terry that was released in 1986.

History

Both solo and duet performances are included in these sessions. They were recorded at the home of Brad Terry in Maine on an informal basis, although both Breau and Terry had discussed commercially releasing the recordings. They were released by Terry after Breau's death.[1]

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, critic Scott Yanow wrote in his review: "...the spontaneous jams give Breau a real opportunity to stretch out. The majority of the seven selections are standards and they feature Breau and the unknown Terry in top form."
