Jaco Pastorius

Description:

Jaco Pastorius, the genius bassist who died at the young age of 35 with only two official studio albums to his credit, left Weather Report in 1982, where he had been since the mid-1970s, and formed the Word of Mouth Big Band to perform the songs from his second album, "Word Of Mouth," released in 1981. He formed the Word of Mouth Big Band to perform the songs from his second album, "Word Of Mouth," released in 1981, and toured Japan in 1983. This album contains the complete performance on the last day of the tour, which took place on May 22, 1983 at Shinjuku Kosei-Nenkin Kaikan. The performance was a big hit, as Katsumi Watanabe was recommended by Mike Stern to take the guitarist's place on short notice. The set list includes songs from the studio album as well as songs not included on the album, and Jaco Pastorius' solo parts, which feature tape echoes and loops, and are full of Jaco Pastorius' charm.Imported domestic specs ＜Japanese obi, English booklet with bilingual booklet＞Jaco Pastorius (b,vo)Delmar Brown (kbds, vo)Alex Foster (sax)Ron Tooley (tp, flugelhorn)Othello Molineaux (steel) Kenwood Denard (ds)Don Alias (perc)Kazumi Watanabe (g) ＜Guest
