It was released by Fresh Sound New Talent, after the Mehldau–Rossy album When I Fall in Love. The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that Mehldau's "introduction and improvisation on 'Old Folks' are quite breathtaking and it's clear that the pristine touch of the later discs was already in place." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York-Barcelona_Crossing,_Volumen_1

Personnel: Brad Mehldau – piano; Perico Sambeat – alto sax; Mario Rossy – bass; Jorge Rossy – drums

The album was recorded in concert at the Jamboree Club in Barcelona on May 10, 1993. The material is mostly jazz standards and pieces from the Great American Songbook. The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that this album was not as good as New York-Barcelona Crossing, Volumen 1, but that "It's Easy to Remember" is "another gorgeous ballad performance, at a dangerously slow tempo". The AllMusic reviewer wrote that "What is engrossing about the disc is the utter fluidity with which these four young musicians from varying backgrounds are able to communicate using the common language of standard songs." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York-Barcelona_Crossing,_Volumen_2
