Yeah Scottzo I just bought a copy this week too. At Record Explosion for $22. It seems to be a Japan import since the liner notes are in Japanese. There are three tunes. The first two The Universe Is My Home(part 1 & 2) is a 40-minute jam. It takes about ten minutes to cook and Jaco is mute slapping, hitting those 64th note runs, playing harmonic chords, and jamming familiar themes. It does seem however that this is an unscripted musical rant. And the musicians pretty much follow his lead through out this and the entire album. Especially when free jamming.
The third tune, Gallon(13'40) is a funky airy tune with the main theme played on flute by Yaco Grau and Jaco laying down a funky bittersweet groove. Listen for some nice piano work by Michael Gerber. Jaco takes a solo and there is some free jam but over all a bit more direction.
There is so precious little Jaco unheard out there. I must admit was very excited when I slipped it in the disc man. If you know what I mean then you'll be happy to hear that you will not be disappointed. Jaco sounds great and the tunes are revealing they give you a sense Jaco's musical flow.
