“Performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival July 3rd, 1982 and broadcast by CBC radio.”
“The early 1980s were a busy time for Jaco Pastorius. Fresh from his gig as musical director for Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light tour he released a second solo album Word Of Mouth (1981), recorded his fifth studio album with Weather Report and left that group to form his own.
His Word Of Mouth ensembles alternated between big bands and small groups and this CD documents the first of his sextets. The set list should be largely familiar for Jaco fans. Pee Wee Ellis' The Chicken, bebop classic Donna Lee, a bass solo feature with loop pedal and crowd participation, a pyrotechnical Bob Mintzer workout and Jaco's favourite R'n'B closer, Fannie Mae stretched to nearly 12 minutes with a raucous vocal from the leader and solos for all.
Recorded at the Montreal Jazz Festival in 1982, Othello Molineaux’s steel drums, Bob Mintzer’s doubling on bass clarinet and Randy Brecker's bionic trumpet give the group a unique feel and set this recording apart from Jaco’s later small group outings.”
