Jaco Pastorius/IN TOKYO

A big band live performance at the Aurex Jazz Festival held at Tokyo Budokan on September 1, 1982 has been made into a DVD from the TV on-air source at the time! The picture and sound quality is one rank higher than past VHS etc. This day’s live performance seems to be a different day’s performance from those recorded on “Invitation” and “Twins 1&2”. And in the bonus footage, there is also a collaboration with the Gil Evans Orchestra in 1984’s “Live Under The Sky”. The solo featuring Jaco, whose eccentric behavior started to become noticeable around this time, was covered in dirt all over his body. The picture and sound quality here are of the highest master quality. Recording time is 57 minutes.
