Listener Reviews & Comments
Jaco's live album "Invitation", recorded live in Japan (originally a double album, I believe, with a different title in the US), is an excellent large-venue recording. "The Birthday Concert", however, is special because it was obviously recorded in a much smaller hall, resulting in a much more intimate listening experience. Co-produced by drummer Peter Erskine, the CD consits of music culled from 2 live performances by the Word of Mouth big band at a party thrown by Jaco for his own 30th birthday. While the opus rendition of "Invitation" and the experimental "Reza" are more than a bit difficult to listen to in entirity (MUCH better versions of both songs can be found on the live CD "Invitiation"), the remaining selections, including the uplifting "Liberty City", the funky "Soul Intro: The Chicken", and the college pep-bandish "Domingo", make this CD well worth a spot in anyone's collection. Although it was a nice idea to leave Jaco's brief comments between songs in the final production, Mr. Erskine should not have included Jaco's lengthy introduction of the band members; this information is best left to the liner notes in the CD jacket. Another minus is the inclusion of "Happy Birthday", arranged and played by the band as a surprise for Jaco; this tune loses its charm after the second or third listen. Listen carefully to hear Jaco vocalizing and giving directions to the band throughout the recording. Guests: Michael Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Don Alias, Peter Erskine, others.
