Alphonso Johnson, al massimo a Jaco potevi portare la custodia del basso!!!

[jjjb9098]

Weather Report in their prime! Great job finding & posting!!

[TheCharlesJazz]

Cette version live du cultissime Elegant People est fantastique!

A ce jour, parmi toutes les interprétations que j'ai pu écouter, c'est selon moi la meilleure.

Si le groupe dans son ensemble est inspiré, c'est particulièrement Wayne Shorter qui m'impressionne sur cette version par une virtuosité sans pareille

Please Sprojojoing, could you send me a link where to download this track please?!

[fuzzwadd1]

studio version from black market...still the best...wayne's solo....as wicked as it gets...here...not so much...

[Everyvideo123]

This is a great post! Thanks! The stills are incredible in capturing Jaco at his (or close to his) peak prior to his slide into major depression and psychosis (bipolar disorder) and that whole tragedy. Thanks for this!!!

[sprojojoing]

@bebopdeluxury Thanks man. I'm glad you get a kick out of it.

[Piero2374]

[chopper3a]

really nice, never mind the quality, ...is really interesting the bass line and the slightly variations...great !!

thanks for posting !!

chopper,a jaco fan for ever !!

[DrJhengsman]

@chopper3a

All credit where it was due. It is Jaco's interpretation of Alphonso Johnson's bassline. Johnson was still the Report's bassist when most of the Black Market Album was recorded

[sprojojoing]

@DrJhengsman You're right. It Is just Jaco's interpretation. Alphonso is an awesome musician in my opinion. I feel he has been a bit underrated by the big audiences, but every serious bass players now this cat is solid.

[pazzensutra]

Oh yeah, thanks for posting!!!

[pazzensutra]

That was so nice it was NASTY!!! What tasty musicianship this group had. This lineup was my favorite. I was just digging this tune a couple days ago on my iPod at work. Man, I miss Weather Report. Zawinul and Jaco RIP. .....It was a crummy day today, and this just got my juices racing again.

[sprojojoing]

Remember this is NOT the Offenbach version,

and there is NO existing video of this gig. The

picture animation/slideshow IS made from the

Offenbach and 76' Live in Montreaux gigs,

but nevermind that .... just Enjoy

p.s. I love the part starting at 1:49

[romainlabaye]

And i have that Elegant People Audio Version too, and all the Gig In Tokyo.
