 (8 Customer Reviews)
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 ... Full Descriptionboth 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).
Recording information: 1979.
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." Hide Description Trio Of Doom 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.

| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Trio Of Doom CD music
$83.65  
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music.
Each disc contains a different live set, and while songs are often repeated across the set lists, no two tracks sound the same. The players improvise at a fever-pitch, pushing themselves to endless invention, and the ensemble's interplay--expressionistic, protean, and fierce--is near telepathic. The influence of rock artists like Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix can be ...
| | John Coltrane One Up, One Down: Live At The Half Note CDs (2005) Remastered
Trio Of Doom music CDs
$21.39
The dramatic, spiraling inventions of Tyner lend a frenetic element to Coltrane's already intense lines, while Jones and Garrison find and rearrange nearly every rhythm and counter-rhythm imaginable. There are only four tracks here (spread out over two discs), but each--whether it's the fiery title track or the exhilarating take on "My Favorite Things"--is a study in artistry.

| | Thelonious Monk At Carnegie Hall CD (2005)
Trio Of Doom songs
$13.15
On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release ...

| | Miles Davis Complete On The Corner Sessions CDs (2007) Box Set
Trio Of Doom CD music
$119.45
With a huge cast of accompanists including John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Bernard Purdie, and many more, Davis definitively transcended the jazz template and fully embraced a new form that incorporated jazz, rock, funk, and the avant garde, but was truly its own beast.
Eschewing harmonic/melodic development, these tracks are powered by shifts in dynamics and texture over percolating grooves, and would prove hugely influential to hip-hop, dub, electronica, and more, for decades to come. By including outtakes and full versions of edited tracks, this collection finally lets the layers of Miles and producer Teo Macero's complex tapestry unfold with the proper breathing room, making it clear why what was initially one of Miles' worst-selling albums would eventually be regarded as a high-water mark even he would never surpass.
In a sense, the 1972 release ON THE CORNER was the culmination of what Miles Davis had been working towards since ...

“If you had been at Lake Worth’s Bamboo Room on a recent Tuesday, you might have felt like you were sitting in on a semi-private rehearsal of Bob Dylan’s band.“After all, the set list was all Dylan, a mix of classics and newer material. And the sound was pure Dylan, a rollicking blend of blues, folk, country, and other roots-loving styles.“But there was a crucial difference: when the lead singer approached ...
