Jaco Pastorius - Continuum

[DrAugustusValdes]

uuugggghhhh...1:00-1:04...that­'s it.

[luke125]

December 1st would have been Jaco's 56th birthday. His compositions live on and his influence is in every single electric bassist alive today. How many of those bassists can ARRANGE like Jaco though? yeah JP WAS the greatest.

[OrisLover]

That sounds so beautiful especially with the horn arrangement.

[tizianapippi]

I am so with you, Mommyquake. What a gift was he for this world. What a precious soul!

[432ps1]

The greatest bassist of all time.

[CalBass92]

first heard this on Modern Electric Bass dvd, finally know what the tune is called :D

[movie2309]

why is it that we stil love this cat

are there no good bas players around love from holand

[TheMrCaddyshack]

@movie2309 Not many who can play this well. There's Flea, Sting, Steve Clarke, and the like, but they still can't compare to Jaco in my opinion.

[Clay7744]

@TheMrCaddyshack mike dirnt can play way better

[TheMrCaddyshack]

@Clay7744 That statement is also an opinion, much like my own. What IS a fact is that Jaco changed the way musicians play bass in general. He was, in a sense, the electric bass equivalent of Jimi Hendrix for his time.

"A little learning is a dangerous thing." I think Marie Antoinette meant that for you, olegsokolov. I know very little about music but I can usually recognize genius when it hits me smack in the face. and Jaco totally knocks me off my feet. Enough said!

[olegsokolov]

does everybody think he is genious because it is to show you are cool? i know much about music and am of sophisticated taste and i find none of his songs entertaining, just boring jazz (there is some good jazz which this is not)

[BassFever74]

This performance of "Continuum" is so good. I gotta get my fretless outa pawn.

[SapphireSkies1976]

He's amazing

[marcolovebass]

other basists can amaze me 1 time , but jaco amze every time when come to stage

[xXG4LdAnD0Xx]

he never ceases to amazes me... R.I.P. buddy, you make me proud to play bass.

[Sefnir]

The best... El mejor... Te llevo en corazon Jaco...

[XJoSeX969]

genio

[ruffian1868]

What a pair of hands !

[ocean4315]

Sounds beautiful when the orchestra comes in at 1:26. Nice variation on an already beautiful piece by Jaco.

[HellaSwanky]

what are the fingerings for the harmonics with open E at 0:46?

[fabyto21]

@HellaSwanky My english sucks but... it's in: at the G string, Fret #12. At the D string, Fret #9 :D

[SpearWieldingOctopus]

I got a fever, and the only cure is more silver-bell!

[alemiggiano]

he opened the door , we entered!

[Chroposnos]

@PPPRRRLLL Cliff Burton es otro asunto. Es como comparar soda con cerveza. Saludos!

[flavy1000]

@PPPRRRLLL Pero es que no puedes comparar..amigo...Cliff es mi otro amor en el bass..pero en Metal..su musica es completamente diferente..y lo que debe tocar en una banda como Metallica. ,lo es..

.No hay comparacion posible...!!

Aunque los dos son..los mejores en lo suyo...ahi si te doy la razon..jajj!!

Un saludo desde Argentina :)

[XJoSeX969]

[JPastorius3]

His playing sends a chill down my spine. A true musical god.

[4578a]

There is no other sound in the world like this.

[pchelpdave]

I love playing this song. I love it when he plays it. I agree with mommyquake this song is touching. Made me almost cry. His life was such a mess outside of music.

[chickenandababy]

i'm learning this version

[chopper3a]

una maza !!! pastorius , pappo y peter fonda ,lo mas !!!

alguien tiene algo con mangeldorf? se que solo tocaron una vez en la philarmonie en Berlin ....

nice recorded !! tanks for share !

[chickenandababy]

sick

[x3BBoy77]

Jaco é Jaco se ele não estivesse revolucionado o baixo não estariamos improvisando nem nada estariamos só conduzindo e de maneira bem simples.

[mommyquake]

My favorite Jaco song...it touches my heart like few songs can. I think this was his gift; he gave so freely of his own heart, that you can't help but feel it in your own.

[ramiller100]

He says a lot in under two minutes. Thanks a million for posting, that is beautiful, one of my all time favourite pieces of music of any kind.

[juanitounzu]

Excelente. de los mejores temas de Jaco! gracias por el vídeo

[Saimon4788]

la mescla entre el bajo y la orquesta es hermosa... digno de la musica de jaco

[trumpcs]
