4.0 out of 5 stars Jaco's best live album, December 8, 2001

By

I've had this since its original release in 1983. It is completly superior to the birthday concert cd and all of the NYC and Punk Jazz discs. It features a large band, that is well rehearsed. And the material is treated to well structured arrangements. It is focused but still contains some great improvisation. Tracks that stand out are; reza, invitation, and one of his better renditions of continuum.

This is a quality Jaco recording. The Bass is indeed way up front, but you'll get no arguments from me. I sincerely disbelieve that Jaco was meant to be heard in perfectly mixed and mastered environments. It's raw, but aside from the mixing the sound quality is great. The big band and Jaco are very tight - it's very reminiscent of some of Jaco's live performances with Birelli Lagrene although he doesn't make an appearance on this slbum.

This is a great album, though a little short since it was originally a vinyl release. I actually prefer the Birthday concert a bit more since the playing was a little hotter and looser. A definite must have.
