Jaco Pastorius (full length) Throwback Thursday From the MI Vault

Great historical document! Too bad the quality is so poor.

Really sad he never hooked up with Miles to play and record some music

Let's not forget about Frank Gambale who goes up and plays Guitar with Jaco

Я недавно открыл этого Музыканта. Он прекрасен! Спасибо.

Hi. Whats the brand of the bass that Jaco is playing? Thanks

What a player... his mannerisms remind me of danny gatton

amazing 🙌

what brand is this bass??? looks like a rickenbaker isn it??? sounds FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Saw Jaco in 82 or 83 at Berklee, when i was going there with Mike Stern. He had about 100' cord on his bass & he hopped on 1 foot all over the stage for about an hr straight. Unbelievable!! Absolutely the best bass player & maybe musician ever. RIP

🥹🥲

Always reminds me of DLR and Eddie

What year was this?

It seems like that all geniuses have a tendency towards mental illness..I think that these individuals are so beyond anything else musically that it's hard for them to convey what they are trying to get out to the average musician and that has to be a horrible place to be in...we all sure miss your genius Jaco....🎸🎸🎸

it is a pleasure to watch this. A good meal and this video with the mighty jaco

Would have loved to see what JP could have done with Zappa... both loved R&B - oh well, maybe they are jamming in Heaven! RIP Jaco - The Buddy Rich of the Bass... never be another...

Is it me, or does Jaco sound a little like a young Joe Biden (accent wise).

Often overlooked, Jaco was one of modern jazz's compositional greats. Such a pity Joe Zawinul denied him the validation he craved...

First of all I want to thank you for the posting of this series! Wonderful! I am a Jacophile, and can't stop listening to his music. It is great to hear him talk about music and how he thought. You can see the smoke flowing out of ears with all his knowledge of music. He definitely wasn't the talented burned out musician that some unfortunately portray him as. I am now afraid to even look at my bass. He was amazing! I wish I could have met him and just chatted with him. Thank you again for posting.

Jaco!

I heard weather report when I was a kid and was in ove with jazz fusion 4ever..Rip jaco. Blessings to the rest of the band.bought so much joy to my family on that Saturday morning shopping Ride together in the car just feeding good.smh.

I was 100% dialed in when he said "the hardest stuff is to not make noise with the other strings while playing that's harder than playing" and he laughed. that's what I am actually working with right now.

Jaco will always have a place in musical history as an innovator, extraordinary musician, stellar signature sound, and his uncanny ability to help push the boundaries of the bass as well as musical tunes in general. Love was in his sound and his tone showed his soul and all it's beauty! One of the greatest to ever play music!!

Truly a legend, a trendsetter, and a genius.

Great bass player! What bass use Jaco in this video? Is it Alembic?

The werst bassist ever lived!

Subtitulos en español se agradece

1986?

At 32.30 he says he's a better rock player than jazz and I would have loved to hear Jaco with a rock or prog band.

It was always wonderful to be around Jocko He was nice to me He taught me a lot of bass stuff He said someday based purgatory won't matter he'll be the guy playing for 50 bucks in a bar or the guy on TV nothing in between

Overflowing genius and wisdom.

Jaco sounds great on that Jay Dee Bass. Even playing a Jay Dee through what looks like an ampeg head and peavey cab it still has that Jaco tone. If you closed your eyes you would swear Jaco's playing a 62 Jazz bass through an Acoustic 360.

My Guitar teacher always said "Practice the bebop heads slow" what he says is true...STOP...AND THINK....doesn't he day "Heard you got some guys here who can play" lol

You couldn't have given us a date for this video?

GIT = Guitar Institute of Technology. BIT = Bass Institute of Technology. PIT = Percussion Institute of Technology. Really. Anybody remember Tommy Tedesco?

When I went to BIT, the school was above the Wax Museum and Frank was bald. Jaco sure can make that Mark IV sound incredible.

How is it that someone could not clean this tape up...?Transfer it to another digital format,there are plenty of places that can do this for you..I love Jaco but i can't watch this..And i really want to!!

I’m so happy that jaco says it hard to play Donna lee slow cause I feel the same way. Whenever I play it slow I always forget where the next note is. Feels good to know that jaco thinks so too lol

And then...while he was exposing answering to the asking of the crowd....the was also Jeff Berlin....no-one at all....

Holy (God of) crap! I thought I had seen ALL of the recorded footage of Jaco... Wow! Never even knew this exhausted till right now... Thanks for uploading!
Back in the day we had to use the internet in it's primitive state just to find other fans to tape trade with...

Peavey Bass Mark IV 400 and Jaydee Supernatural, great amp and great bass !

This is great! Cheers

My Hero.

What year was this?
