I remember the first time I heard Jaco. I was in a chat room on AOL bragging about how Cliff Burton was the god of bass. This guy said "Man, haven't you heard of Jaco Pastorius or Victor Wooten?" That was the day I was introduced to Jazz and funk bass. That dude changed my life.

@bigbadbeethoven Jaco was my best friend in elementary school, and I was in his first band (1964). He would have LOVED to hear your comment, as 'groove' was crucial to him both in the music he made and the music he listened to. I say thank you for him.,

I don't care what anybody says, Jaco's playing on this date in November of 1986 is still some of his best shit. You can tell he was feelin good... but not TOO good if you know what I mean. He found an awesome groove on this and quite simply played his ass off.

tom blake He was pretty seriously mentally ill, and it's a tragedy that he probably could've been just fine if he would've sought appropriate treatment for his illness (and had quality psych treatment been even available in the States back then). Drug and alcohol addictions are rarely ever the problem, they're almost always a symptom of a bigger, less visible problem. You're an antagonistic asshole, I wonder what's wrong with you that creates that symptom?
@seeburg104 жыл бұрын
Yeah, people vulture out on the downer stories and *assume* Jaco's playing couldn't have been good/great at the same time his life off the stand was a mess. Why? Billie Holiday still sang beautifully at the end of her troubled junkie life, one of many examples. Fact is aside from a literal handful of bad gigs (and btw I haven't heard of any out-and-out no-shows), Jaco played good on all his gigs and great on most of them.
@JasonSmith-gw7wc12 жыл бұрын
"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" was written by Joe Zawinul when he was in Cannonball's band, and it sounds like what you're supposed to say when you're faced with adversity: MERCY, MERCY, MERCY!!! Jaco's playing evokes a lot of positive emotions here, especially with the "Express Yourself" quotes etc. - so I would say that this piece feels very happy and positive. The original is much more "bluesy" but still positive, if that makes sense. Have a nice day! :)

there have been comments posted on other platforms that disparage Jaco as "Jaco & the Band" (Birdland, Weather Report) his bass playing was incredible. He and Joe were so tight.....I first heard Mercy, Mercy ,Mercy with Cannonball, Nat and Joe....No matter which way you flip it, when musicians are in the groove it is tight and respectful of the others. Just go Jaco+Toots...3 Views of a Secret (Jaco on pianp)and you'll see what it means when true musicians play with one another
