I've been a young bass player for three months when i bought this album by accident. No one had ever told me about Jaco. I just felt the CD cover was cool with a bass player on it. When i heard the first notes, I knew instantly it was something precious
This is great stuff. This is why RU-vid is so cool there is so much stuff I haven't heard. I saw Jaco with Weather Report they opened for Miles Davis about '76 I remember right.
Bireli is 18 years old at this time, ^^ damn i've looking in vain for a video of that concert for 10 years even more..... The best of Jaco is here (for me) the groove and improvisation is just sick ^^
ragazzi che concerto io era la al palalido di milano, un concerto da brivido. jaco suonava dietro a un telone bianco a contro luce in modo che il suo basso prendesse forma e le corde erano enormi ,ho la pelle d'oca ancora adesso.ciao a tutti
How can people say that his abilities as a musician faded toward his later years??? Jaco only got better and better. Thing is, his illness got worse. However, it's things like this that make me think those two factors worked oppositely. RIP Jaco
I would say his technical abilities was, surprisingly not, fading that much. Surprising considering his recurring mental breakdowns during the 80s. Maybe though his ability to come up with new interesting ideas and techniques faded a bit. It was much repricing old standard tunes and licks by then, at least in live conserts. On his last curtain call however, the instructional video, he is sharp, alert, playing great and coming up with some fresh stuff i think which is amazing considering his life situation at that time.
Mi ha aiutato e mi aiuta tantissimo! Solo il fatto di concepire l'idea di suonare con quella tecnica verso la metà degli anni 70, è geniale! Mi ha colpito molto una intervista resa da Jaco, nella quale sosteneva che sentiva la "musica" anche nel pianto di un bambino! Aveva una sensibilità d'animo raffinatissima, il suono del suo fretless ti entra nell'anima!
Jaco always loved R&B funk ..... He does a little play on notes @ 4:13 ...... with "Boogies Nights" from Heatwave... before tearing it up and going deep.....
THAT intro...was pure classical?, and then effortlessly shifted into something else, and then finally into Jaco....and that solo.... I suspect Bireli is not human... he's from some other planet
I WAS THERE ! Al teatro '' Tenda a Striscia'' ROMA , (EUR) . I Was only 21 , che spettacolo! A un certo punto dello show , Pastorius si e' innervosito, perche' un ragazzo urlo' '' NUDOOO''... e allora mise al massimo il volume e ci spacco' praticamente le orecchie!! Eravamo li' con le dita nelle orecchie perche' altrimenti ci spaccava i timpani !! Che genio, peccato che avesse quei famosi '' 5 minuti '' che infatti lo fecero morire a Fort Luderdale...
Even though he was sick at this period. He was still Jaco and had periods of sheer brilliance. At this time the associates in his musical world couldn't handle his unpredictabile/unreliable personality off the band stand.. Read Joni Mitchell's log about him several years prior (when substance abuse started). Missing important recording sessions with her (they were tight intimate friends) because he was loaded and playing frisbee with Joe Zawinal was his preference. His passing was horrific for those who love the man. His family avid, fans and those who who later idolize him as one of the most influential fathers of modern bass playing.

Type in this in your youtube search-box: Jaco Pastorius - Improvisation No. 1, Teen Town Live in Italy (last 10 mins) It contains Jaco's groovy solo because the poster has skipped Bireli Lagrene's opening solo.
Jaco was breaking out the Suite: Golden Dawn lines from his guest spot on Al DiMeola's first solo album. Sick, sick stuff, I've never heard this particular track before
You tube diventa qualcosa di straordinario perchè raccoglie anche preziose testimonianze come la tua! La mia memoria? Il cervello è qualcosa di straordinariamente complesso ma altrettanto vulnerabile!Non cammino bene, parlo con difficoltà, sovrappongo con confusione stimoli e ricordi, a causa di alcuni danni che ho avuto in seguito di un incidente. Non me ne volere, ma lasciami passare questo messaggio: RAGAZZI, INDOSSATE SEMPRE IL CASCO QUANDO ANDATE IN MOTO E CHE SIA UN CASCO SICURO!!
@ThePoulsen the one that is definitve and the classic version is the punk jazz version with hiram bullock ; the one with the 23 second donna lee on it. it gives the coke a run for it's money
I was there then, both Jaco and Bireli were great, not so much the drummer , serge bringolf. A good quality bootleg is available. I listend to it on Amazon prime
❤️HEY. ONE. My heart is your music my soul is stolen გაპარული. This Word has, no translation even on Russion. Meaning later I WILL say, You Will guess. Kiss.
Love the performance overall. Jaco is truly amazing. My only nit-pick is that I wish the drummer would have improvd his playing more along with Jaco and the guitarist. Sounds like he's trying too hard to sound like the original, studio recording. Was probably a little star struck playing with Jaco.
Intro too long....My friend Jeff was hanging out with Jaco in Manhattan before he left for Italy...He never saw him again thereafter...Thanks for posting this
Absolutely not. Different types, but the dude can groove. Look up Adventures in Spontaneous Jamming. The whole DVD on RU-vid, and it's 2 hours of Flea improv jamming with Chad Smith. It's an absolutely incredible video.
Questo era anche Jaco! Penso solamente "i 5 minuti"di Pastorius, facessero anche parte della sua genialità! Semmai, chi ha avuto una reazione davvero spropositata, credo sia stato Luc Havan, colui che lo ammazzò!! In fin dei conti, si capiva che Jaco fosse mezzo ubriaco e che voleva entrare per forza in quel locale. Un buttafuori deve sapersi controllare in questi momenti e non reagire fracassandogli il cervello e mandandolo in coma!Comunque, bene hai fatto a lasciare la tua preziosa testimonia
Nnnn, ... that was from Eddie. Like this guy. Eddie invented it, and others perfectionated it (now that's probably a new English word. :)) Like Yngwie.
flea is a great bass player!!!! miller too!! pastorius is the father of all the bass players.. pay respect to every bass player that have wonderfull musical ideas!!!!! the style is the most important thing!! not to be faster or better in the slap!. the most important thing is the music, all the rest are people very very boring!!!
