Hi guys


Just realised this has been released.

If you do a product search on Google UK, you can get it even cheaper. Should be an ace CD.


Regards


Mike

About Jaco's playing. There was an interview with McLaughlin where he was saying about Jaco just turning up to 11 and playing totally unrelated changes, and there wasn't much preparation for the gig. You can hear that he's being "inventive" :) with his choice of notes at times and there are moments of weirdness but there's also some beautiful music, particularly Continuum.

Cheers,
Alun

Ordered - this sounds really interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't suppose anyone has seen any video footage out there?


and Alun, I've just realised who you are...

..like many people I'm eagerly waiting for news on the Panic Room album and some gigs... any news?

Cheers
John

t'was a bit random actually!! We started off listening to Roni Size... followed by Korn and Pantera.. we had a folk moment, with a lot of stuff I had never heard of, which was really cool.. then we all pl;ayed drinking games with a bit of Jaco & co!!

long live the 'random playlist' on MP3 players!!

Hi John, thank for the interest..

<brief off topic tangent> :huh:
As far as I know ( although I haven't seen Jon for a couple of weeks so it may be further down the line now), there was a teeny bit of tweaking left to do on the mastering and then it'll be ready for production. I did most of the bass parts 2 1/2 years ago so it'll be nice to finally have it see the light of day :)
Not sure on gigs at the mo as everyone's commitments are a bit mad ( Gavin's on tour with Fish and Mostly autumn, Anne's really busy, I'm pretty busy) but I want to get out and play ASAP so fingers crossed
</brief off topic tangent>

Anyway,back on topic
I think I've read that there is video footage in existence but have yet to find a copy. Hopefully someone here will have succeeded :huh:

Cheers,
Alun

Mike[/quote].......Hi Y'all....Don't know if you Jaco fans are aware of a great album he was involved with during his halcyon days circa 76/77....It's by French Canadian pianist/composer Michel Columbier and features Jaco on most tracks showing off the lyrical beauty of his playing as well as the stuff we all love him for....Don't believe it was widely available, so anyone needing a copy just has to PM me...

You can listen to sound clips here.

Personally, from these clips, IMO this is the type of music my office-sharer describes as "a group of lads cleaning their instrunemts together". And 4 songs is indeed cheeky.

But live & let live, I always say. Well not always. In fact I probably say "macaroni cheese & toast, please" more often.
