Hi Joshua, >It's a double CD set with Disc 1 being a trio date with Jaco, > rock-star guitarist Bireli LeGrene, Rock-star?? Bireli Le Grene??! Have you heard him on Larry Coryell's "Spaces Revisited" CD? Not exactly Eddie Van Halen fare, if you ask me... BTW, if you haven't heard that disc, and being a Jaco fan, you would certainly dig the bass player on that session, a guy named Richard Bona. He's from Cameroon, of all places. He's also on the Zawinul "World Tour" CD. He solos on both discs, but not nearly enough! What a monster! At any rate, the Jaco disc sounds great; thanks for telling us about it. I'm always looking for music for my radio show, and it sounds like this would be a good one to have. I had the pleasure of seeing Jaco with Pat Metheny and a well-known drummer whose name escapes me right now many years ago in a tiny little club in Boston called The Jazz Basement (I saw Miles there too!). Jaco stole the show, as he did every time I saw him with Weather Report. > Has anyone heard the "Jungle Funk" disc with Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun? Yes; as a matter of fact, I first heard about them on this very list. GREAT musicians, but a little too "pop" for me. I would also say they could use a good guitarist, but perhaps I'm prejudiced, being one myself. Steve Delgado
