For those who are unfamiliar with the Trio of Doom, they were a very short-lived Fusion Jazz/Funk supergroup made up of three master Jazz musicians: John McLaughlin (guitar), Jaco Pastorius (Bass), and Tony Williams (Drums); this was their only album together.
I can hear a lot of Mingus' influence among others in this song. An excellent piece of Jazz, however it gets just a bit busy at times; almost a musical three-ringed-circus. What do you expect with three Jazz musicians of this caliber playing together at the height of Jazz Fusion?

Here is the studio version of Dark Prince with Para Oriente afterward on YouTube.
