  • I uploaded this back on youtube today. It's a live version of "Havona" from the officially released double live album "Jaco Pastorius Word Of Mouth Band 1983 Tour feat Kazumi Watanabe". This is the only live version I've heard where Jaco takes a solo. While it may not be a masterpiece like his premeditated solo on the "Heavy Weather" album is and can sound a bit frenetic at times, he goes for it and gets in several beautiful phrases. As for his supportive lines on the rest of the track, they are killer and so is the rest of the band. Full band lineup: Jaco Pastorius - bass, Ron Tooley - trumpet, Alex Foster - saxophone, Delmar Brown - keyboards, Don Alias - percussion, Othello Molineaux -
    steel drums, Kenwood Dennard - drums and Kazumi Watanabe - guitar

    Hi. To all of you who enjoyed this recording I just wanted to inform you that I just posted another tune from this album, a killer rendition of "Dania" with a smoking bass solo from Jaco. Here's the link:

      Hi Lucille. I totally agree. It's one for the ages. People will be listening to Havona for as long as there are people on this planet. Of that I'm sure. Thanks for commenting :)

      @@pusanghalaw I completely agree. Jaco just brought some ingredients to those songs that often elevated them from great to masterpieces. I can't imagine what those albums would have been like without him. Thanks for commenting.

    Beautiful intro but at this time his maniac illness was interfering his brilliance by the way I love him for ever❤️ still my favorite bass player

      Hi. I agree that this is not his best performance. As you said his mania had set in by this point, and I suspect he was also under the influence. I still feel however that there are moments of brilliance from Jaco on this recording, thus making it worth posting. Also, the band he used on this tour is top notch. Thanks for commenting.

      It might not be his best performance but it's still excellent. He had the best musicians on stage with him. You can hear that he loses it a bit in the bass solo, but he still has the basic drive. For someone who was quite ill at the time this is astounding. I'm so grateful to have not long discovered his WoM band. Thank you for posting these great recordings.🙏
