Jaco Pastorius, recorded live at the Kooi Jazz Festival in New York on June 27, 1982, on an FM stereo soundboard.

Jaco's bass resonates against the backdrop of the brilliant playing of Randy Brecker and other members of the Word of Mouth Big Band.

While the official live recording from Japan has received rave reviews, this New York performance is also moving.
