Tribute to Jaco Pastorius // Joscho Stephan feat. Biréli Lagrène // The Chicken // ⚠️ IT'S FUNKY

During our last session at my online class "GypsyGuitarAcademy", Bireli & I were talking about his gigs with Jaco Pastorius back in the 80s.
So we had the idea that it would be cool to do a tribute recording for Jaco.
Today would mark his 72nd birthday (1st December 1951).
In addition to his legacy as a gypsy swing guitarist, Bireli Lagrene also shows us his funkiness! We were left speechless ;)

The Chicken // Joscho Stephan, Biréli Lagrène & Volker Kamp

[@Emanual0607]

The Chicken" or simply "Chicken" is an instrumental funk tune composed by Pee Wee Ellis that was the B-side to James Brown's 1969 single "The Popcorn". The tune gained greater exposure with versions by Jaco Pastorius. Bravo, Mr. Pastorius!

[@taulitaulington197]

Thank you for crediting the original artist. ♥ Most people think that tune is from Jaco.

[@Emanual0607]

@@taulitaulington197 You’re welcome Sir.

[@maxx.mazzeo]

I love Bireli playing Rhythmic

[@flatpancake2261]

Right? I love those Triplet fills he does every so often!

[@stevecole3192]

I've lost count of how many times I've commented "I have a new favorite song!" to one of your videos. Gentlemen...that was amazing. Truly. Flawless and pitch perfect. Thank you all once again. Blessings from Kansas~

[@claudesim8307]

Two absolute masters of the guitar with instantly recognizable voices. Thanks Joscho for this classic and for honoring Jaco right! Bravi tutti

[@joshlampe3458]

I would argue the 'funk' mainly came from Brecker on this one, but this tune is one for the ages; Jaco is beyond a legend Thanks for sharing and excellent job!

[@Ratatrail]

Your music is a cure to soul, outstanding talents!

[@paulviasedona2795]

Great rendition. With a tribute and the great bass line, the bass player should get name in the title also.

[@user-sf6su1pq8u]

Was raised on jazz in the 50's, my dad having his own trio. When I picked up the guitar he gave me my first chord book, by Joe Pass. At 70 years young, Joscho S. on KZbin is my go-to! Merry Xmas gentlemen, and thank you for all the beautiful music...

[@trashzomb]

Happy Play! Thanks! ;)

[@brianmessemer2973]

Whenever Joscho and Bireli play together, you KNOW it's going to be very, very special. Pure mastery and artistry. Volker Kamp, the wonderful bass player too.

[@gregbrown391]

Great rendition, Jaco 🙏 would be very proud of all of you!

[@creativecomposites6193]

Funky! Every time you post a video it inspires me to pick up the guitar and try to be 1/1000th as good as you guys. You've just set me back a few years with this one!

[@basamak]

Josho please come to Istanbul. We were so happy to see Maestro Bireli here last week . Now it is your turn😊 You all are amazing. Thank you.

[@kmilton1593]

Thanks Bireli and Joscho: (for me i call that 'new music'; at any rate difficult to play music) You guys aced it; sounded great!

[@wladimirtay69old]

Thank you for the communication, your kind heart! Music has connected us with a thin thread of the Internet across the entire planet!

[@gigantor100]

So very good. And the bass is just killin it also!

[@nathanreedy4380]

Man, I love this tune & your style Joscho. So many wonderful tunes to enjoy, thank you.❤

[@antoinehurtado4596]

Those two are really complementary. Joy !

[@antoinehurtado4596]

There is nothing beyond perfection. Lose yourself, find yourself.

[@bmet12341]

Very nice improv anything associated with Jaco Pastorious catches my attention as I’m a old Florida boy just like Jaco born in 51 me 52 both grew up in old Florida those were some nice times and I loved his work in Weather Report Punk Jazz and Havona my favorites man I miss Jaco RIP my man😢

[@bradtaggart5509]

[@andredede4942]

Superb performance by your brilliant trio! I love it! I recently bought the "Biréli Lagrène play Loulou Gasté" CD at an F.N.A.C. but alas, I can't find any Joscho Stéphan CDs. What a shame!

[@nathanreedy4380]

Some of Joscho's & the Trio themselves are on iTunes/Apple Music, but not all of them unfortunately 😭 They did a version of Cherokee with Mathias Strucken on Piano that I wish that they had recorded & cut for release but they didn't/haven't as of yet. And this one is another one that I wish that they would cut & release

[@JoschoStephan]

There is a lot on Spotify (and my music online shop as well) www.joscho-Stephan.de

"Wow"

[@davestambaugh7282]

If you tried to put the nylon strings that this guy plays on a classical or flaminco guitar the bridge would go flying. I know about string tension because I have actually measured it on many strings at many different scale lengths.

[@ThePsychedelicDrummer]

Great Stuff is going on..

[@gravitydrums1391]

I played with Jaco for a short stint and was wondering if you guys would be ok with me Playing a drum track to this and Posting it here? It feels really good and I would love to play along.. Great job Guys.
