Jul 18, 2017This exhilarating set is a real find, for Jaco fans and left-field big-band followers alike.
-
Jul 18, 2017In and of itself Truth Liberty & Soul is a fantastic performance. But better still, it provides a counterintuitively good look at what was special about Jaco.
-
Jul 18, 2017If the concert starts off jittery, with the frenetic 13-minute “Invitation”--the band seems almost too hyped-up--the remaining two-hours are a seamless, pitch-perfect display of A-game professionalism married to virtuoso sparkle.
-
Jul 18, 2017Superbly performed, the show is recorded with perfect clarity by NPR’s engineers, and packaged with an extensive booklet of essays and photos. Truth, Liberty & Soul is no barrel-scraping collection of effluvia, but a vital addition to the slim catalog of a genius.
-
Jul 18, 2017Overall, the sound is pristine--it’s been remastered from the original 24-track tapes by esteemed engineer Paul Blakemore--and is accompanied by a thick booklet packed with essays.
-
Jul 18, 2017Sure, Truth, Liberty & Soul is for the Pastorius fanatics, but it's much more: this fantastically recorded document is a treasure trove of modern progressive jazz.
-
Jul 18, 2017Over all, Truth, Liberty & Soul is not necessarily an essential, but no less welcome addition to the Pastorius canon.
