Forget what you,ve heard!,
This review is from: Live in New York 7 (Audio CD)
This is the latest in a series of recordings made of Jaco Pastorius in various New York venues which has been released by Big World Records. Now this series has received alot of flack in the press, ranging from the legality of the recordings to the less than hi-fidelity sound. Granted, these recordings were made using a portable DAT recorder and stereo mike by the "producer" Neil Weiss as he sat at one of the tables in the club. Hardly top of the line recording techniques. However I must say, many of my favorite jazz recordings from the 50's and 60's have far inferior sound than this series of cd's. That fact does not keep me from enjoying them. The bottom line is this: these recordings were made for those of us who are already Jaco fans, many of whom never had the opportunity to hear him live in a club setting. If you fall into that category, forget what you've heard. Buy this disc, turn out the lights, close your eyes, turn up the volume, and I'll bet it won't be hard to imagine yourself being right there in the club. And there's no two drink minimum.

If you love Jaco, get this disc,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live in New York 7 (Audio CD)
This disc is a must (as I'm sure the others in the series are). Forget the less-than-stellar sound. Jaco is loud and clear. Loud enough for me, anyway. The first cut "Bass solo/America" is worth the price of the CD alone. Jaco goes from all out bebop lines, to Star Spangled Banner, into Blackbird, into America, back into be-bop! unreal. It sounds as if he's playing on a fretted bass, which adds a different sound. This disc is more edgy than much of what I've heard of Jaco on the official releases. I love it. Makes me feel as if I were front row at the club it was recorded in. Rock solid funky basslines from the King on every cut.

A great club setting,
By Kyle Mole "Fingers" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live in New York 7 (Audio CD)
Although this series came in for some severe scrutiny as bootlegs and bad sound quality, it matters not to me!
I never got the chance to experience Jaco live, and being a player myself, I relish any type of chance to hear him. For a trio Setting, they don't half fill out the place! Jaco's kicks off with the usual out of this world bop improvs and legendary scale asscension. 'Teen Town' really smokes, and hearing him sing on one of the tracks is rather upsetting because you can hear the meleancholy in his voice. My fave here is the not so used 'Straight Life,' which really gives off a groove. These Live in NYC issues are, indeed, history.
