Product Description: Recorded at the 1979 Havana Jazz Festival, this short and powerful set, with Miles Davis alumni, drummer Tony Williams and guitarist John McLaughlin, and Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius, was one for the ages. The previously unreleased selections, one through five, are explosive, but mis-miked live tracks. Williams' "Drum Improvisation" segues into McLaughlin's fuzz-toned "Dark Prince," which does not swing in a silent way. Pastorious' theme song "Continuum" is scaled down to its essential twilight textures, while the drummer's "Para Oriente" - which later became a stable in V.S.O.P's book, and was recast as "Angel Street" - is rendered here in a funky, pre-grunge mode. The guitarist's "Are You the One, Are You the One?" previews the jam band craze. The rest of the cuts were recorded a week later in a New York studio, But the warts-and-all original sides are unmatched for their primal power. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Jaco RULES!
Awesome concert featuring three Jazz Giants! Only wish it was longer...
Purchased this for my bass-player and he loves it!

Should Never Released It
"Trio Of Doom," which is a stupid name for a group, is a terrible album. You would think McLaughlin, Williams, and Pastorius could come up with better material than this, but no, what we have here is complete drab, heartless noodling. Nothing is of substance here. Just three guys standing around seeing who can impress the other person first.
I'm not impressed and anyone who likes any one of these musicians will probably be disappointed. They can do so much better than this. Sony should have NEVER released this rubbish.

THREE FUSION SUPERSTARS
HALF OF THIS ALBUM IS FROM A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN HAVANA, CUBA IN 1979, THE REST IS RECORDED SHORTLY AFTER IN THE STUDIO IN NEW YORK CITY. THE TRIO OF JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, TONY WILLIAMS, AND JACO PASTORIUS IS INSPIRING. THREE FANTASTIC MUSICIANS AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR CREATIVITY, AND A BLEND OF OF THREE OF JAZZ FUSION MUSIC'S FINEST. I RECENTLY READ THAT IT WAS TONY WILLIAMS THAT BROUGHT JOHN MCLAUGHLIN OVER TO MEET MILES DAVIS THE DAY BEFORE THE RECORDING OF BITCHES BREW, AND HE HAD JOHN IN THE STUDIO THE NEXT DAY SITTING IN TO PLAY ON THAT GROUNDBREAKING ALBUM OF FUSION MUSIC, WHICH SET THE DIRECTION OF A LOT OF JAZZ FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS. SADLY, TONY WILLIAMS AND JACO PASTORIUS ARE NO LONGER WITH US, SO THIS RECORDING WAS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EVENT.

WOW!
What an amazing cd! The line up of Tony, John, and Jaco is amazing. Tony's drumming is as close to perfect as you can get. If you want a cd that will blow your mind away, this is it.

Trio of Doom
I've been playing music and listening to these guys seperatly since the 70's and it was cool to listen to them jam together. Brings back memories of the spirit of free music and free expression. Although I don't feel it was their best performances I still enjoyed it and a great addition to my collection.
