From 1976 self-titled debut album, here’s Jaco Pastorius with “Portrait Of Tracy” Sampled by SWV “Rain” Cannibal Ox “Pigeon” Nicolay “My Story” (Thanks Bagirba) Chingy “Pullin’ Me Back”.
I dont care what … I dont care what anyone else things, Jaco Pastorius was unquestionably the worlds greatest bass player, this, among other of his works, will readily prove that, long live Jaco, may he rest in peace forever, Amen, to you too, brother, in honor of John Francis Anthony “Jaco” Pastorius: “The World’s Greatest Bass Player: 1951-1987
In addition to … In addition to marvelous walks, pounding pulses and smooth grooves, this genius can make you cry with melody played with harmonics ! amazing isn’t good enough a word great post !
This is someone totally ignorant of the music, fabricating a *FABLE* based on his own ignorance. You might as well honestly believe “the Internet is a series of tubes”
The dumbing down of the populace is an ever-steady march.
The stated fable/myth is just that: pure, fabricated nonsense.
I would also like … I would also like to add: how about discovering that people actually play for the love of the music, not the money and pressure to make radio-friendly music. People that disrespect jazz because it’s unconventional are the worst.
