  • Today we remember Jaco Pastorius, one of the greatest electric bassists of all time, who passed away on this day 36 years ago.
    Many choose to remember him by watching old videos of him performing, whether it's with Weather Report, Joni Mitchell or Toots Thielemans. Often it's this very bass solo from 1978, and that's why I chose to upload it today. The excerpt comes from my upcoming remaster of Weather Report's Offenbach am Main 1978 DVD, which will be uploaded to this channel on September 29.
    Enjoy!

    As a 14 year old bassist, this guy is my hero. Watching this solo for the first time changed my life. Jaco completely changed, and greaty influenced how I play bass now, and it taught me not to be Jaco, but to be me. R.I.P the legend, the GOAT, Jaco Pastorius, and cheers to the greatest bass solo of all time.

      Masonbass- Keep at it my young brother. Keep practicing the bass as much as humanly possible- you are at that great, great age where muscle memory and musical memory fuses so wonderfully. Dig on all kinds of music- jazz, classical, rock, world music, hip hop- and listen, listen, listen closely. Train your ears young brother- I'm sorry to go on like a crazy old person but I started playing guitar around your age and it has been infinitely rewarding to me. Let music be infinitely rewarding to you!! You are headed in the best possible direction. ☮❤🕉

    Is that lick at 6:06 an original phrase from this solo or it's taken from another song?

    • @JacoPastoriusArchive

      "Them Changes" by Buddy Miles. Originally recorded live with the Band of Gypsys, which is probably the version Jaco heard.
