Anyone with even a passing interest in classic fusion and progressive jazz will want to own TRIO OF DOOM. Comprising three giants of the genre--guitarist John McLaughlin, drummer Tony Williams, and bassist Jaco Pastorius--Trio of Doom recorded both a studio session and a live set in 1979, and this 10-track disc contains selections from each, including Pastorius's "Continuum," McLaughlin's "Dark Prince," and Williams's "Drum Improvisation." Needless to say the playing is superb, and the energy--complex, knotted, and consistently pushing toward astral heights--is dazzling.
Personnel: Jaco Pastorius (bass guitar); Tony Williams (drums); John McLaughlin (guitar).
Down Beat (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he material is a reminder that these guys never let up, whether behind studio walls or in front of adoring audiences. For fusion buffs, TRIO OF DOOM is essential." Trio Of Doom Live Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews A Treat From Long Ago
As a fan of all 3 of these musicians from back in the '70s (and McLaughlin to this day), I'm certainly glad that JM gave these tapes another listen and decided they were worth using modern tech. for a restoration project (and the resulting sound is excellent). The muscianship of all 3 men is amazing and their interaction a treat for any fan's ear. This one is to be recommended! I do wonder if any of those old jams with Jimi might be worth a restoration treatment...

Lost Treasure
Mclaughlin,Pastorius,Williams.What a trio,what a lost treasure that was found from a concert of long ago! The blend,energy of these legendary artists,two of which are deceased,makes you wonder why it took so long to release the tapes???? It takes you to a time when fusion,jazz rock,spiritual energy and vibes were kicking.True afficionados will be grateful for some new directions painted by these masters.Enjoy!

I was pleasantly entertained by how this CD blended very tight arrangements with improvisation. It seemed to be mainly high energy (which I like). The mellow sections did not overstay their welcome either!
The sound was surprisingly in-your-face without loosing the live ambiance.
Great release. I can't think of anything wrong with it, so I give it 5 stars.

I think the world of these players and have been listening to them for ages. But I found this recording, of a live performance coupled with studio versions of the same tunes, unrewarding. There are some nice moments of course. Just not enough of them for me. I wish I'd purchased a Weather Report recording, or a Mahavishnu recording or something else.

 Dark Prince
Top five live jazz recordings of ALL TIME.
Live recording in Cuba, Dark Prince:
Williams, Pastorious pushing Mclaughlin like never before in the hardest driving post bop trio performance ever. Charlie Parker would've been smiling and tearing up listiening to this, and would've joined in like a lightening bolt.
a true treasure.

'Connecticut songwriter Kevin Briody is cut from the honest, artful cloth of the best Yankee ballad-writers. His narrative songs are personal yet cinematic, filled with vivid, pastoral imagery and useful wisdom. He seems to earn new fans and folk-biz boosters wherever his songs travel.' Scott Alarik, Boston Globe2008 Emmy Award Winner and recent 2009 Emmy Award Nominee, Kevin Briody's songs and stories may feel as comfortable as a summer evening on the front porch, but they've taken him to some of the most hallowed corners of the songwriting world. Briody is a three-time finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Contest in Texas, and winner of the South Florida Folk Festival National Songwriting Competition. His compelling song "We're All Heroes" opened the Connecticut Special Olympic Summer Games, while Autism Speaks, a national organization combating autism, commissioned him to write the song 'Bring Them Back' to help raise awareness. Briody served as Connecticut's Official State Troubadour; a position created by The Connecticut State General Assembly to recognize Connecticut's Songwriter Laureate. He has also been selected by The Connecticut Commission ...
