Music reviews of Live in New York 2: Trio

Music Review: The Best of the Live In NYC Volumes
Rating: 4 Stars

I have most of the "Live In NYC" volumes, Trio or otherwise.
Regardless of the marginal recording quality-no electric bass player has EVER played this skillfully in a nightclub setting live.
The tune "I Shot the Sheriff" is a classic Jaco fireburst. It consists of the basic turnaround riff and 4 chords from beginning to end. But on the solo section-Jaco plays some of the fastest bursts of notes any bassist has dared without gimmicks and guess what? It's tasteful. Not speed metal jazz. Finally in a Trio, we can really hear what he is doing in a live setting.
Don't underestimate Hirum Bullock, just because he doesn't come out the loudest in the mix. I saw him on NBC wail away on the Cream song "White Room" with Jack Bruce, Joe Walsh and Omar Hakim. Bullock is not a loud player. (Now Joe Walsh on a Les Paul is a different story) Hiram is talented. He nails the melody of the "Dear Prudence", "I Shot The Sheriff", "Ode To Billy Joe" tunes as if a vocalist were articulating the voicing. Cissy Strut is a favorite-with an expanded solo section perfect for the form of a trio. The interplay between bass and guitar is more interwoven like a jazzy Clapton and Bruce piece, had Cream continued into a fusion format without Baker. Music is subjective, and many will have their own opinions-but I will tell you that the art of a trio (the power of 3) is perhaps the most under-estimated form of music today. You can hear what's going on and there is space to breathe. There are a series of "overtones" and harmonics going on, that you would not hear with a fourth instrument. Enjoy.
