Live Volume 1 is the first Master Musicians of Jajouka release in eight years and marks the triumphant return of the legendary Morroccan group, led since 1982 by Bachir Attar. Recorded in Lisbon on the final night of a week-long tribute to Paul Bowles, Live Volume 1 is the debut release on Jajouka Records, owned and operated by Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. The album contains several new and never before released tracks, capturing the group at the height of their powers.

The Master Musicians of Jajouka was first heard by the western world on Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan At Jajouka, which was released two years after Jones' tragic death in 1969. The music of the Master Musicians soon captivated a generation of musicians and led to seminal recordings with Ornette Coleman on the 1973 album Dancing In Your Head and the Joel Rubiner produced Master Musicians of Jajouka. Jajouka was introduced to a new generation in 1989, appearing on The Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels album. In 1992, Jajouka released the Bill Laswell produced Apocalypse Across the Sky on Laswell's Axiom imprint.

As a solo artist, Bachir Attar has recorded and toured with Maceo Parker, The Rolling Stones, Critters Buggin , Steve Lacey, Deborah Harry, Ornette Coleman, and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo. Attar also collaborated with highly respected improvisational artist Elliot Sharp on the album In New York and they toured together. In 1994 Bachir collaborated with The Rolling Stones for the re-release of Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan At Jajouka.
