Forget this whole series of releases-they only taint the image of Jaco that we should preserve-as the best there ever was!I am certain Jaco's spinning around in his grave by the thought of this cd representing his playing skills.The playing on here is drunken,loud,insensitive and generally resorts to being based on a very small bag of tricks of licks.And, oh yes-he's playing a fretted bass for more reasons than one!His chops are so depressingly low that the bright moments on this disc(very few and short to be sure)seem to occur during straight'rhythm section-playing'.Choice of songs is desperate at best...Listen to Bright Size Life,Trilogue-Live,Shadows and Light or his selftitled debut or even the Birthday Concert you want a clear image of who this guy was and why he will be the inspiration of genrations of musicians to come...Stay away from this...no foolin'!
