Jaco Pastorius - Truth, Liberty & Soul

LIMITED DELUXE 2-TAPE EDITION

There have been many guitar gods, but there’s never been an electric bassist as deified as Jaco Pastorius.

Michael J. Agovino

This live album by Jaco Pastorius and the Word-of-Mouth Big Band, featuring harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans as special guest,

was recorded in 24 analog tracks by the Record Plant mobile truck at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC.,

on June 27, 1982, as part of George Wein's Kool Jazz Festival.

The original 2-track master tapes were found recently and were used for this Deluxe Edition.

Previous digital download versions were released from a digital remix of the 24 tracks.

What we have here is a direct copy of the original, pure analog 2-track mix.
