Quite literally heart rending accounts from Brian Melvin of finding Jaco literally incarcerated in Belle Vue, New York, asking ‘can he come home with me, he really doesn’t belong here? And his family saying ‘Are you prepared to take him on?’ Poor old Brian saying ‘Well yeah, he’s my friend!’

Some of the most beautiful music ever made. I would say ‘THE most beautiful’ only I heard Joni Mitchell with Pastorius! God it almost makes me cry, and I don’t cry easily. Jaco Pastorius RIP old son. Again and again I find myself thinking ‘what’s he doing now?’

I still marvel at an age where a Brian Melvin could be told ‘we think it’s time you made a solo LP, who would you like?’ And when he jokingly says ‘Jaco Pastorius on bass, obviously’, the guy turns up in middle of night, ‘hi Brian, where do I sleep? Long night man’.” Pastorius was so generous with his time, did he ever say no to anyone? Joni Mitchell always said he was sent from God. The Brian Melvin record is strangely Pastorius on a day off! One of the very few musicians who can take the piss and still make it profound. When the great man turned up at Melvin’s place he just said ‘tell your Mum I love her cooking, can she join the band? Can’t stand eating shit!’ What everyone knew was, when Jaco Pastorius went off on one, nobody could go with him. Too crazy. I only had one tenth of his genius, if that, but I do relate. I used to go AWOL minutes before going on, in a corner taking powders and pills, going ‘no worries guys I’ll just be better.’ Strangely guys like me were better, we weren’t especially talented so a gut full of booze and drugs just steadied the ship! ‘Jaco I can see it in your eyes bro!’ I just still try to imagine a guy turning up, old Fender jazz bass which he insists on playing even though it’s conked out, saying ‘I’m fucking Jaco Pastorius best bass player in the world!’ You have to love the front and he was, once he found the groove, I know of no other. I just go silly how he finds ‘So What’ again here. There are saddos who still don’t understand ‘So What’, hell there are saddos who don’t understand Weather Report! All you can advise, keep riding the beast surely you’ll get hang of it eventually! Poor old Brian Melvin. This is his magnum opus. The Jaco stories are his magnum opus. Yet he’s a brilliant musician. Jaco did this to people. There was a French drummer called Sery, he played in the Jaco band with Bireli Lagrene, said the man would go off on one, nobody could follow it. Nobody. ‘Follow me, here we go’ and suddenly it all made sense. It just is genius! As Joni Mitchell says ‘Sonofabitch would go hang on tight here we go 4-5 times per set!’ I did 1-2 times in my short lived career, but I know what that feels like’. ‘Hang on tight’.

A superb piece of work. At times the bass sounds like a sax. But then we always knew this after Donna Lee. Jaco was always very tight to Charlie Parker. This all kind of ended when Pastorius got his head split open by that bouncer outside that night club. A bit like if Miles had died after ‘Cool’. Jazz is like this, you have to get used to it, it goes with the territory.

Dreadfully misunderstood and misrepresented. Pastorius was the best combo bassist I ever heard, never hogged it, always went to the front half-apologetic only to blow everyone’s mind. People say he was a show-off, too many notes…they need to listen to this, it’s the most soulful bass I’ve ever heard. And it’s when he doesn’t play…THAT’s the genius. But Holy Caroli that tone.

I wonder Is this recorded with his Jazz Bass?Jaco sounds different from his typical sound. First of all it doesn't sound like fretless ,second it is not his sound on bridge pick up,but sounds more like both pick ups together or neck pick up is more used,especially when he is walking and not soloing.

You’ll never hear all of Pastorius’ music. He was too generous for that to happen. The later bipolar years, when he just wasn’t well, still he gigged anywhere that would have him and was still peerless if crazily unpredictable. I’ve heard those late bootlegs, he was far from done. I still believe Jaco Pastorius is the greatest instrumentalist on any instrument since Jimi Hendrix. Yes we all know he was crazy, self-medicated as best he could, but God almayty listen to the little dances he does inside the big dance. And then he does another little dance inside, and he’s not playing that many notes, the vomit is coming from the piano. I hate it when they say Pastorius played too many notes. In my opinion he played too few.
good drums require level mix as other instruments..nice cymbuls...whew..wood on it.

You can embarrass yourself here. Pat Metheny has kind of asked for it to be toned down, ditto Zawinul, implying Pastorius wasn’t quite that good. The tone he achieved is something that can’t be taught because you need an ear to want to produce that tone. Joni Mitchell hired him because everyone said he found bass lines without things like root notes. It’s all true of course, but what makes me weep is his TIMING. His ability to play a little behind or ahead of. Many folks deny this exists. Yet the whole of classical music in the west plays with its tempo and looks to its conductor. There are lots to talk about. But for me, that tone…
