The ultimate seal of approval for this project comes from Jaco’s former Weather Report bandmate, Peter Erskine, whose mellifluous voice floats over a series of interludes, telling of his own experiences of playing with Jaco. These dreamy evocations offer a softer, emotional side to this fireworkspacked album, which reminds us, while the great bassist’s life was cut cruelly short, his music and spirit more than live on in the hands and heart of Biréli Lagrène.
