Here's the complete second set of Jaco's solo concert at Berliner Jazztage on November the 2nd in 1979. Although shorter and not quite at the level of the first set in my opinion, it has enough moments of brilliance to satisfy any Jaco fan. An extra bonus which makes it unique is the adventurous duet with Toots Thielemans on "Sophisticated Lady". This was the first time they ever played together after Jaco at a press conference before the concert when asked about who he would like to play with if possible immediately responded "give me Toots"! :)
The brief statement at 51:22 that interrupts "Slang" is made by the German radio host of the broadcast this show was recorded from.
