There is so much to love about Jaco Pastorius, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Jaco Pastorius on ‘Invitation’. For older fans Invitation will put a massive smile accross your face. Invitation constantly brilliant.
Lyrics of Amerika are precise and evocative. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Soul Intro -The Chicken because the melody in the chorus is so good. All of songs on Invitation and have something to say letting alone Continuum. Liberty City is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Sophisticated Lady is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. You have to get essence of the Reza - Giant Steps - Reza (reprise)’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Fannie Mae is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Eleven is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion.
