Modern American music - period! : the Criteria sessions

"Jaco can pull off entire songs by himself, but the eerie keyboards by Alex Darqui and well-crafted drums form something for Jaco's bass to play off of. "Continuum" is a great example. At its core, it's a bass solo, but the watery piano work, along with Bob Economou's atmospheric drums chiming in, make the high bass work even more impressive. Those odd sounds float in and out of the background perfectly with Jaco taking time to flash his talent before fading into the hazy production behind him. It's not just a release for bass enthusiasts. It's a record for jazz lovers in general, if you want to hear a master just before his prime, or simply want to hear a handful of jazz-subgenres played in excellent fashion these sessions are well worth your while".
