After debuting at No. 1 last week, Jaco Pastorius’s album Live in New York City falls to No. 2 with 153,000, a sales slide of 70%. Since completing 1990’s ‘Donna Lee’, Jaco Pastorius fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. It’s natural for Jaco Pastorius to take a stab at ‘Donna Lee’ considering her long-professed love for B.B. King. Live in New York City is the best essence of Jaco Pastorius.
Dania is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This song is dynamic and dramatic. The Chicken as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Invitation is probably the highlight of the album. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Jaco Pastorius. Some call Punk Jazz from Live in New York City as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Voice of Jaco Pastorius in Liberty City is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant.
