These are my favorite pieces featuring Jaco Pastorius.
Birdland, from the Weather Report Album, Heavy Weather.
Three Views of a Secret, from Jaco's album, Word of Mouth.
Teen Town, from the Weather Report album, Heavy Weather
Scarlet Woman, performed live by Weather Report in 1978 - This recording, to me, features some of his most deadly, other-worldly playing ever.
A Remark You Made, from the Weather Report album, Heavy Weather. Jaco at his most beautiful.
Continuum, from Jaco's first solo album, Jaco Pastorius
Okonkole y Trompa, from Jaco's first album, Jaco Pastorius
Fast City, from Weather Report's album, Night Passage, featuring Jaco playing INSANELY FAST TIME (in his own incredibly skewed way). Charles Mingus died a second time when he heard this shit.
The Juggler, from Weather Report's album, Heavy Weather.
John and Mary, from Jaco's album, Word of Mouth
The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines, from Joni Mitchell's album, Mingus
And finally, Jaco with Michael Colombier. The composition is Deamland.
- The Balloon Song
Early Demo Recording I had never heard before. The beginning is reminiscent of the opening of Jaco's Punk Jazz, which he recorded with Weather Report. Mostly this sounds like a jam, but you can hear a lot of later Jaco ideas in their beginning stages...
- Trilogue: The Most Out There Music Jaco Ever Did
Albert Manglesdorff - Trombone Alphonse Mouzon - Drums Jaco Pastorius - Bass Alphonse playing is awesome throughout. Jaco seems FORCED to move away from his usual bag of tricks. Sometimes this is good, and sometimes, frankly, he looks lost. This might...
- Overture/cotton Avenue
Jaco with Joni Mitchell, from the album Don Juan's Reckless Daughter ...
- Scarlet Woman
...
- Weather Report
A new Joe Zawinul album is due out next week (although I believe it had been available previous as an import). 75 is a live concert recording with his Zawinul Syndicate recorded on his 75th birthday, 2 months before he died. Joe with Weather Report and...
