There's a special flavor to music heard live in clubs: more relaxed than on records -- often fiercer too, with inhibiting mikes out of the performers' way. The first releases from Night Records, a new Virgin Records label specializing in live performances, catch four jazz stylists (Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Les McCann, Eddie Harris and Cannonball Adderley) in moods that seldom found their way onto more formal recordings.

It has a surprisingly soulful flow (from the sax of Kirk Pengilly, 29, who also plays lead guitar) and, in Hutchence's dramatic vocals, anthemic ambitions...
