More Early, Rare Jaco - BALLYE DE NINA, LIVE 1973!

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT A YOUNG, HEALTHY JACO PASTORIUS SOUNDED LIKE BACK IN HIS EARLY FLORIDA DAYS HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! IN THIS ELECTRIFYING, RARE RECORDING HE'S HEARD PLAYING WITH A STELLAR BAND FRONTED BY LEGEND AND MENTOR IRA SULLIVAN. RECORDED IN A HOTEL LOBBY IN MIAMI BACK IN 1973, THIS PERFORMANCE IS PACKED WITH GREAT SOLOS FROM SULLIVAN, DIORIO AND PASTORIUS AS WELL AS MARVELOUS INTERPLAY. EVERYONE IS TOTALLY IN THE MOMENT! THE TUNE IS ALSO WRITTEN BY JACO, MAKING IT ONE OF HIS EARLIEST COMPOSITIONS! NOT TOO SHABBY BY A 21 YEAR OLD YOUNGSTER! HERE ARE SOME MORE DETAILS:

BAND:

IRA SULLIVAN - TRUMPET
JACO PASTORIUS - BASS
JOE DIORIO - GUITAR
ALEX DARQUI - KEYS
STEVE BAGBY - DRUMS

DATE: CIRCA SPRING/SUMMER OF 1973
