Reception
Шаблон:Album ratings In a review for AllMusic, Paula Edelstein called the album the group's "breakthrough recording," and wrote: "the band plays a powerful, high-energy set that features their rock chops in all their jam band glory... This CD is truly 'live' and a cool 21st century representation of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter's ripe rock repertoire."[1]
Todd S. Jenkins of All About Jazz stated that the intuitive interplay between the musicians "has become more uncanny... as they have immersed themselves in the Dead's post-psychedelic canon," and commented: "This is difficult material to revisit convincingly, even if your name is Lesh or Weir. Jazz Is Dead continues to ensure that the music of Garcia and company doesn't fade into foggy, nostalgic oblivion anytime soon."[3]
Writing for Sea of Tranquility, Pete Pardo remarked: "these guys are so tight and bursting with energy that the results are mind boggling... the synergy they demonstrate is almost beyond comprehension... I really can't imagine any serious music lover not being totally blown away by this."[4]
