Lundi 21 Septembre 2020 – Il avait besoin juste d’un peu d’aide, mais beaucoup lui ont tourné le dos. Quel gachis, salut Jaco.
…Amelia,
It was just a false alarm."

Joni Mitchell's Hejira album was the first time I'd heard the cosmic sounds of the late Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass. Later I obsessively watched Joni's Shadows and Light tour DVD for weeks. Jaco joins her along with Michael Brecker on sax (also deceased), Pat Metheny and Don Alias -- a concert tour for all. especially musicians to fall deeply and hopelessly in love.

Bob Bobbing over on the jacopastorius.net forum has confirmed the authenticity of these photos (Mr Bobbing was a close friend of Jaco's and was responsible for putting together the early years CD).
Miles Davis…
it gets no better…
and i was lucky enough while hanging out with Carlos Santana to have caught miles twice, once going back stage at the Paramount in Oakland…
kinda ironic that Jaco Pastorius succumbed to injuries obtained from a bouncer at a night club in Florida after being ejected from a Santana show for attempting to sneak onstage…
funny chit chat between Miles & Marcus Miller, who wrote the song…
Photograhped on 1983-07-01 at Jazz Festival Zeltweg, Austria
Has been shot on color slide film and then I photographed the projected slide on Ilford HP5. These days I may also find the slides and will scan them too. ;-)

Bought the Double LP 11.9.1986 in Stockholm 144 Kr
One of my last LPs I bought in 1986, and this one in Stockholm, Sweden. Haven't found it in Finland.
Weather Report live performances from all around the world. Most of the songs are were from their previous LPs. The band was the best they ever had. Pastorius is still in the bass. He's got a wonderful solo: Slang! - A bit nostalgic to listen all these wonderful performances.
I saw Weather Report once live in Helsinki and Zawinul's band once too.

LP bought in 1978
So many classics on this album: Punk Jazz, Mr. Gone, River People, Young and fine...
... but this is the famous "one-star" rated record by Down Beat at the time!
The album opens with Zawinul's composition: The Pursuit which has cool synth. sounds, medium tempo groove, African style singing - great mood! Shorter's Elders - the mood is a bit sad and dreamy...
Shorter's Pinocchio is already in Miles Davis record Nefertiti in 1967 - this is interesting to hear a new version of the old song.
Fender Jazz Bass Jaco Pastorius. Heavy relic from the boys at the Fender Custom Shop. Epoxy coating....nice job!
"Shadows & Light" is one of my favourite music videos. I first saw Pat Metheny in this about 1980. Favourite from then on.
Two members of Joni's great band in 1979 are no longer with us.
Michael Brecker - top US saxophonist died of leukaemia.
Jaco Pastorius - most unique bass player, was murdered in a street brawl, it appears.
YouTube can't allow us in UK links to tracks from Shadows and Light just now.
I saw his band in Edinburgh in 1989 and 1995.
"punk no es una palabra despectiva.Es la palabra para designar a alguien que respetas porque tiene suficientes pelotas de ser uno mismo.No tiene nada que ver con el movimiento musical del mismo nombre que llega ahora de inglaterra,con todos esos tipos clavandose agujas en la nariz.Desde hace diez años que llamo a mi musica jazz punk,mucho antes de que llegara esa musica inglesa"

"jaco cambio de forma muy significativa el curso dela musica del ultimo cuarto del siglo XX en cuanto al papel del bajo,en general,y de manera incuestionable, en cuanto al papel del bajo electrico en si.Cambio el panorama para siempre.Y no hay muchos musicos de los que puedas decir eso, sea cual sea su instrumento.La busqueda de la individualidad es uno de sus mayores logros,en el sentido de como lo logro.No podemos encontrar mejor medida para calibrar su exito que todo lo que Jaco consiguio plasmar sonoramente a lo largo de su carrera"

“Una tarde estaba caminando por la playa cuando vi a una rubia increíble. Me dejó conmocionado. Así que me acerqué a ella, me presenté y entablé conversación, intentando ligármela. Al principio quise impresionarla diciéndole que era el baterista de BS&T a lo que ella me respondió “Ya lo sé, soy camarera en el Barchelors III”. Así que pasé a la siguiente pregunta: “¿Estás casada?”. Y me dijo: “Si, mi marido es el mejor bajista del mundo”. Al principio pensé que solo era una esposa apoyando a su marido e imaginé que el tío sería probablemente un bajista mediocre, pero decidí complacerla de todas maneras, más que nada porque era muy guapa. Así que le dije:”Pues yo soy músico y productor, y me gustaría oír a ese marido tuyo”
Tracy acordó que Jaco iría al Barchelors III la tarde siguiente a ver a Colomby. El productor todavía recuerda la entrada de Jaco ese día:
“El tío entró en el club descalzo, con el bajo y una pelota de baloncesto bajo un brazo, y me dijo: “Soy Jaco, el marido de Tracy”. Le miré y le dije: “Ah, entonces tú eres el mejor bajista del mundo, ¿no? Es un placer”. Nos dimos la mano y les pedí a los técnicos que prepararan un amplificador para ver cuan bueno era ese tío. Créeme, estaba esperando reírme a carcajadas. Pero Jaco enchufó el bajo y se puso a tocar. Me senté a escucharle. Los ojos se me salieron de las órbitas y el vello se me puso de punta. Había escuchado a cientos de bajistas hasta el momento, pero ninguno de ellos se acercaba ni por asomo a la facilidad que esa tarde Jaco demostró tener. No bromeaba, ¡el mejor bajista del mundo!

( per en Toni,que m´ha deixat a les mans la biografia d´aquest music i que devoro amb tanta intensitat,com tots els episodis de la seva curta pero creativa vida ,la historia de un ascens,de una caiguda,la historia de un artista amb una innegable personalitat i tragic final ,)
Lundi 21 Septembre 2015 – Ce n’était pas son modèle de prédilection, mais « juste » sa marque. Merci Mr Jaco.
