Jaco Pastorius

Live in New York City

volume 7 : History

This is the 7th and final (Footrack take note) volume of this series.

The first two tracks were a bit odd with loud crowd but quiet music.

(this was in the LH channel only)

I have made efforts the rectify that issue.

Fair to say Jaco could be a bit of a nutter and his premature demise was,

in no small part, down to his own erratic behaviour

but he left behind a solid musical legacy which has touched/influenced many.

Live in New York City

volume 6 : Punk Jazz 2

The penultimate volume of this mp3 collection.

I don't know if it's a result of 'Jaco overkill' on my part

but I found myself less drawn to the bass on this one,

drums/guitar/piano/sax all hit the spot at various times.

Maybe it's just the mood my ears are in?

'Teen Town' collectors fear not...

yet another 'interpretation' closes this CD.

Best version ever?

You decide.

P.S. I retired today...what does one do?

Titus

I wonder whose birthday it was?

volume 1 : Punk Jazz

Another one from my mp3 collection.

Best guess date-wise is circa November 1985.

Groovy stuff.

I suspect this falls into Frank Zappa's "jazz-noodling" catagory

but I enjoy a good noodle from time to time.
