LIVE & UNRELEASED

Tremendous live album. This is a compilation of shows of the best Jazz Rock / Fusion band, between 1975 and 1983. Almost all the great tracks are here: starting with "Freezing Fire" and "Plaza Real", the incredible Jaco's bass solo masterpiece "Portrait Of Tracy", "Elegant People", the funky "Cucumber Slumber" (with an incredible performance of Zawinul), the classic "Teen Town", the latinesque "Black Market", and others in this 2 CD set, with more that 2 hours of live material, excellent ! The amazing musicianship: Jaco Pastorius (as the previous review said before, the BEST bass player on Earth), Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Chester Thompson, Alphonso Johnson, Omar Hakim, Alex Acuña, and others ... What is more, the sound quality is very good and obviously there's a lot of jamming and improvisation. I can't say any more about this, you should buy this ! (I'm surprised this has only, four reviews now)

Overall, an excellent addition to any Prog music collection, specially in the Fusion genre everyone should get this !

Rating: 4/5
