Jaco Pastorius - Slang (Bass Solo) [Live in Pittsburgh, 1980]
45 years ago today, Weather Report performed at the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was the second concert of their tour of 1980, and one of five shows performed before Robert Thomas Jr. joined the group on January 24. This was reviewed by Gary Bradford for The Pittsburgh Press, which, though mostly positive, criticised Wayne Shorter's lack of prominence. (The concert also happened to take place on jazz legend and Pittsburgh native Horace Parlan's 49th birthday, but it wasn't acknowledged during the concert.)
I'll share the rest of this concert later, but first I want to focus on Jaco's 7-minute bass solo. 1980 spawned some of Jaco's best versions of his "Slang" solo bass r...

Happy New Year 2025! This year will be filled with important 40th, 45th, and 50th anniversaries for Jaco Pastorius fans, whether it's recording his self-titled debut album, joining Weather Report, or performing some of his best shows of the '80s during the Seventh Avenue South residency of 1985, and I'll be covering them on this channel through the photos, videos, and audio recordings I have in...

Late last year, I had a discussion with Florida-based musician Bob Lyons about a cassette tape that he had received from a student of drummer Rich Franks' student Jay French in February 1978. It consisted of two early 1978 recordings from the Players Club-one from January 29, and another one from an unknown, possibly earlier January date. These tapes were recorded with the trio's permission by ...

Much like the two previous years, Jaco Pastorius spent most of 1977 touring and recording with Weather Report. Despite his busy schedule, he always found time to visit his father, crooner and drummer Jack Pastorius, who by this point was living in Bridgeport, Pennsylvania. Although the details are scarce, it is likely that this cassette recording-given to Freddie Lamour Erny by his friend Jerry...

Throughout 1984, Jaco Pastorius would perform with Gil Evans and his all-star big band, the Monday Night Orchestra. The group had a residency at Seventh Avenue South in Manhattan, NYC, where they would play for up to 3½ hours every Monday, with some songs stretching as long as 40 minutes. Much of the material would stem from the 1974 tribute album _The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jim...

    An early arranged version of this song was a version with the A string tuned down to G and played in the same key as the original "blackbird." This was taught to me a long time ago by a brilliant Japanese KORG developer and jaco researcher, Mr. Yuichi Nakahara. Amazing try at a solo arrangement in the key of the original song before it was arranged in the key of A. Thank you.

    • @JacoPastoriusArchive
      @JacoPastoriusArchive 17 дней назад

      That explains it, thank you! I tried playing along, and thought the recording needed pitch correction (which it did regardless). Interesting how he did that instead of just playing it in A major.

    45 years ago today, Weather Report performed at the Stanley Theatre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was the second concert of their tour of 1980, and one of five shows performed before Robert Thomas Jr. joined the group on January 24. This was reviewed by Gary Bradford for The Pittsburgh Press, which, though mostly positive, criticised Wayne Shorter's lack of prominence. I'll share the rest of this concert later, but first I want to focus on Jaco's 7-minute bass solo. 1980 spawned some of Jaco's best versions of his "Slang" solo bass routine, and this is one of the best. Unlike most, it doesn't rely quite as much on quotes and solo renditions, and is a lot less hectic overall. Much of the pre-looping doodling is centered around his version of The Beatles' "Blackbird," but even then, Jaco takes time to play with different articulations and dynamics. Some of the looping segment is missing due to a cut at 5:37, but I'm hoping a more complete tape recording will surface eventually, because it sounds really good. In spite of Jaco's declining mental health, many of the 1980 Weather Report live recordings I've heard are good, and deserve to be heard. Although I'm quite busy at the moment, I'll try to go through them, and pick and share the best bits. Please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already, so you won't miss out on anything. I'm also on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, where I share rare photos and videos, so if that's what you're into, be sure to check them out.
