Trio of Doom was a short lived jazz fusion power trio consisting of John McLaughlin on guitar, Jaco Pastorius on electric bass-guitar and Tony Williams on drums. Their only live performance was at the Havana Jam festival in Cuba on 3rd March 1979, part of a U.S. State department sponsored visit to Cuba. Later, on 8th March of the same year, the group recorded the songs they had written for the festival at Columbia Studios, New York, on 52nd St. The music from the original live date was not released until 2007 because McLaughlin was unhappy with the performance (particularly that of Pastorius) and with the sound quality. So Columbia Records initially put out the studio tracks with crowd noises over-dubbed as part of a two-volume album called Havana Jam. Twenty-eight years later, McLaughlin changed his mind and remixed the recordings with Marcus Wippersberg, the sound engineer, and had both sets released together as Trio of Doom in 2007.
