JACO PASTORIUS- The Chicken- Studio Live&John Scofield

[RoughstockRider88]

john schofiled that little lick at 1:49 awesome!

[youbadcrazyman]

oh, seldom see jaco on fretted bass. great as usual, and the trio too.

[youbadcrazyman]

@youbadcrazyman the ending is sensational

[lorrinbraddick]

ughgh. solid & heavy & unfiltered jammagicalaweseomeness. more please

[asjbg12]

2:50, best drum-shot ever.

[ummagummas08]

+ That drummer is super gross.

[ummagummas08]

Hahaha, right around 5:05, that foot thing that Jaco does, I do that exact thing when I'm playing bass. It looks and feels super awkward, but so right.

[soundkingcheck]

@ummagummas08 lol im doing that too, i thought im the only weirdo :D

[pappoelmejor]

pastorius is god !!!

[EddieG1888]

Love the way Jaco looks at Scofield at the end, like "how the hell did we both land on the same ascending thing at the same time?!?!" Brilliant stuff.

[SimonSaysJung]

Could anyone tell me the lick at 4:17?

[SimonSaysJung]

Could anyone tell me the lick at 4:17? He does that few times throughout the song

[bobbysbackingtracks]

@SimonSaysJung Basic pentatonic scale in triplets.

[Alimacca]

@SimonSaysJung how is someone supposed to tell you what a lick is? use your ears you clown.

[jaybodonoghue]

Jaco LIVES!



[olewkaification]

cool vid :D

[MrThrasher20]

why is this related to sufraget city ?

[TheMrFunktastic2]

Hahaha, I LOVE that ending. It's like "Oh shit, we're doing this now? OK!"

[MrXyz1549]

he's got he dirtiest look on his face. he's like yeah i fucked your sister

[dojufitz]

he looks as high as hell......but he still plays the bass better than anyone.....

[johnnyjolijt]

Hate that chorus Sco used.

He stopped using it now, I think.

[blzebra66]

I wish...I wish Jaco had recognised his alcoholism...I wish Jaco accepted himself as an alcoholic beyond human aid...and I wish Jaco had walked into an AA meeting and never looked back. He would be alive and thriving today. The magic word when wishing is action....

[broggsey]

i love the way jaco looks around each time he does something truly remarkable

[Multiac]

one of the best bassist and guitarist...



[knoxtunes]

jaco you are

[Saif0rk]

thumbs up if your guitar or bass teacher sent you here :)

[balagefarkas]

Wicked guitar sound, btw.

[meokanako]

I love how cool Jaco looks in that video.

[zjolivarezcomposer]

killin trio



[BanjoDelivrance]

...wouah

[bbspolidoro]

thumbs up if you typed 'hyper mega porn moviments' in the search bar!!!

[pacificcapital1]

DAMN!!!!!! JACO KILLED JOHN ON HIS OWN SOLO!!!!! Sorry man, but Jaco destroyed John here. I know it's not a competition but jeez... It was the King holding court and boy I'm glad this is on video. Thanks!

[totalcontrast]

@pacificcapital1

Who gives a shit?

[pacificcapital1]

@totalcontrast - it's true that you do care

[dreembeeken1]

The last time I saw Jaco was at the Cleveland Agora with Weather Report doing the "Heavy Weather" Tour back in 1974?? (don't tell ANYONE, because I was only 14 years old then.)

[prefasto1]

i just shit in my pants........

[parkeyer]

tout simplement la grande class

[wrchernoff]

1:54 holy shit

[manazma]

gotta love that sweater jaco is wearing, pure genuis. I saw scofield at jazz alley, seattle, last year. Pretty dope!!

[salmosalar18]

unique !

[mootbooxle]

I used to have this video! I don't know what happened to it...Jaco was VERY high during the "instruction" part of the video, but at least he had the great Jerry Jemmott there to steer him. Yeah, looking back at it, this is not one of Scofield's best performances, but it DEFINITELY doesn't suck. And Kenwood Dennard is on point!!! This video was my introduction to him. A monster!

[FZmustacheFZ]

Is it just me, or does Scofield seem like he's having a little trouble at certain points? Anyway. Great video! Thanks for uploading

[madbuzz90]

@FZmustacheFZ I doubt it, he's a master musician, he probably wasn't feelin it, I think he plays pretty well here. I'm a big Jaco fan and I think when you really get into his playing, this stuff here actaully makes me feel sad for Jaco, you can tell he's not really 'there', he was so talented, such an innovator, and his playing here is just a shadow of his former self. He was the best. RIP Jaco.

[I3L4CKL1GHTN1NG]

Wtf

[MrYifo]

Shit!!! This is orgasm.

[MrYifo]

Shit!!! This is orgasm.

[serjpower]

Jaco para sempre o the Best

[lionel1885]

I LIKE I LIKE

[Nicci16able]

15 people are Chickens

[BassmrDK]

He's the white nigga

[highway234]

these guys would be good if they practiced more. 

[Centigonos]

@highway234 Ha! I can see what you did there!

[gilbert20]

@CADtekk At least you like them! Sorry, but your description leaves me a little flat.

[gilbert20]

With a trio, there's just nowhere to run or hide. While the big band versions of The Chicken are awesome, this trio thing is simply staggeringly good! I just love it.

[glenclosed]

Rubbish

[shavodown]

beatiful.........

[totalcontrast]

Gotta love Sco.

[RadicallyED]

@totalcontrast as an player,most surtenly, but NOT as a writter. His own stuff was actually mediocre. He was particulally good with miles davis in "you're under arrest".

[trapfman]

@RadicallyED Luckily you're just a retard not even able to form your opinion in decent English.

[Yogurt2345]

groovy, they where having fun

[ripfry]

jaco would apparently walk into a jam session and announce that he is the greatest... and by the end of the evening everyone in the bar would agree

[broggsey]

@ripfry he is so smug but not as smug as i would be if could do that

[dojufitz]

Even pissed and outta of it...Jaco played better than most bass players.

[fnkdrmmr]

A young Kenwood Dennard on the drums!

[metachozoite]

thats one cool chicken. :P

[lucapoliti]

kenwood dennard + jaco pastorius =awesome groove and feeling!!i don't like the sconfield performance on this take!!I do not understand what he thought(at 3:40!!!!)

[isomikieee]

will you look at that jaco put a fretted neck on his bass of doom :)

[memphis148]

at the beginning does he say "gracias"?

[enzomdrums]

@memphis148 haha looks like it

[elisaysantana]

@memphis148 nah hes actually saying something about the surprises you get when jamming... 'surprises' kind of turned into '...prises' at the beginning of the video

[marleymation]

The thing that makes me believe that Jaco was and is still the greatest player to live is his improvisational skill, so fluent and natural.

[nipperooney]

@marleymation  True

[K2nsl3r]

great groove!!!

[atleeG]

John does the robot at 3:24.

[andresote1992]

masters they realy are masters

[Ellis307]

i havent listened to john schofield before but based on this video he seems pretty forgettable

[zhantyy]

who is the drumer?¿

[Manarchy09]

@zhantyy The drummer is Kenwood Dennard

[zhantyy]

@Manarchy09 thanks is a nice drumer... i love the way he play

[MazzaPercuzza]

when I listened to this I found myself forgetting scofield........

[trapfman]

15 people went to jail with Luc Havan

[youthman7]

In my opinion! the greatest bassist ever...period!!

[dojufitz]

The tragic part of Jaco was he didn't work with people like Quincy who would have opened a whole new world to him.......i love Jaco but he could have have been a composer of greatness.

[flaviolima91]

Best version of the chicken, hands down.

Every single one of them is just so original, anywhere but inside the box...

[gnog1969]

15 people are vegetarians...........

[cmvb]

@gnog1969

I'm vegetarian and crazy for jazz!

Did you mean "vegetative"??? hahaha

[MrGritstoner]

jaco is just the master.all those different ideas improvised on the spot show you he has so much to say when he picks up a bass,and all the words are beautiful. so funny when they cant agree on an ending and jaco jumps early but they carry on! his face when he looks at schofield after that just tells a story!

[TheJoeGrosso]

Dude, Jaco JUMPS at 7:18,, its awesome

[CaprettaD]

Cazzo!!! Riescono a fondere voicing, solo e ritmico alla perfezione!

[CrandMackerel]

14 people taste like chicken

[nsnake47]

this video changed my entire life..... and the way i look at music



[nsnake47]

this video changed my entire life..... and the way i look at music

[vpoflowfrequencies]

‎...and drummer Kenwood Dennard. Jaco has frets on what looks like a Precision neck retrofitted to his famous Jazz body. He had probably dug huge grooves in his fretless neck with those Rotosounds...

[imakedookie]

funk funk funk!

[BigDrummerGuy]

Is john a lumberjack?

[TheJoeGrosso]

I like the part when John and Jaco play music...

[FRANCEBERNARDI]

it is scientifically proved that there are 14 deaf every 965 people with good hearing !

[KenobiM11]

14 pendejos vieron este video =D

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Jaco was amazing !! : ))

[MrThrasher20]

ñ me canso de ouvir essa música  :)

[zakattack700]

[jeba12]

AWESOME !! Yeah Kenny D

[mcbofrost]

Jaco had no talent

.

.

.

buying sweaters

[aarfeld]

@mcbofrost: I guess it's back to the bear-chest look for Jaco. :-)

[Orinokomusic]

@mcbofrost its a carpet he's wearing

[vpoflowfrequencies]

@mcbofrost I guess you are just trying to bring him down to your level, because you secretly admire him so

[overmasxg]

I always wonder title of this song

I love sound of Jaco~

[danimusico]

I LOVE THE JAZZ FUSION ..AND JACO..THANKS!!

[Brotherrhaan]

Thanks for the heads up... Kenwood Dennard deserves his props.

[bassobassotto]

semplicemente fantastico.



[sayblues]

sooooooo good

[robertkk33]

good verrry

[Monsieurmul]

fantastic !

[bangform]

a more laid back quality performance,what masters they all are,jaco rip

[Qatrik222]

Just great! :)

[fraghunter67]

Jaco wouldnt like your video description :D

[Everyvideo123]

@fraghunter67 ;)

[bobdaryl1]

@fraghunter67 Yes he would lol........Jaco even said he was the best electric bassist to ever live.

[lepape08]

@bobdaryl1 but the description says "one" of... not THE best...

duh!

[aakkoin]

man i love this groove, they dont need no big band

[frankiedeanjnr]

The Master...........R.I.P. Jaco xxx

[boundtogetdown]

jaco and scofield are like kfc and taco bell, i dont know how else to put it

[ledzep30490]

@boundtogetdown

HAHAHHAHAHA this is the best metaphor ever

[Roddeo29]

@boundtogetdown i don't get it

[jsilence418]

@boundtogetdown Please find another way to put it, that is a terrible description!

[Lwyte17]

@boundtogetdown wait, so you're saying that they give you diarrhea?

[colourfulwithaU]

@boundtogetdown

Except when you're done with Jaco and Scofield, you feel good.

[yartytaddle66]

@boundtogetdown That's insulting.

[wesselbindt]

@yartytaddle66

Or is it?

[Manarchy09]

That's Kenwood Dennard on drums - this clip is from the Modern Electric Bass viseo.

[Brotherrhaan]

Vintage Jaco, and the dude on the drums bears a strong resemblance to he of the A.W.B.

[Pumpkinbiker00]

@Brotherrhaan

I believe that's Kenwood Dennard.

[rachelf0x]

GOLDENNN

[dcsween2000]

Unbelievable jam, LOVE it. 

[ellioteaston93]

john´s guitar sounds soo great!!!!!!!

[slaysho]

Atilt, Sunders HiRay whutsup

[larry3393]

@slaysho stop spammming

[pulpumbraIII]

whit "JACO" De Johnette SHure?

[MrDickyBingo]

Incredible.

[ianidinuse]

John Scofield wanted to end around 7:35, if you observe properly. But Jaco HAD to do that superfill (not saying that it's a bad thing), so Scofield had to play what seemed like the ending again.

[mastrouz]

@ianidinuse

I don't see it this way, and I think you re the only one not understanding this normal ending, no ? Cheers

[ianidinuse]

Is it just me, or does Birelli Lagrene look abit like Mr Pastorius right here?

[haffpint123]

Thank you Mr. Pastorius. nuff said.

[86fj1200]

Cool Groove,,, Jaco what can I say...

[TheMrFunktastic2]

Gotta love Jacos face when they spontaneously come up with that ending

[PuuMastaFunk]

6:07

MOAR COWBELL!!!

[enrico689]

One of the best.. it's like to say "hendrix was a good guitarist"

All the bassist after him are only a copy. He also invented the fretless bass. bassists said: "I heard Jaco for the first time in '76 and thought it was incredible, absolutely amazing. I left immediately and went to buy a fretless bass" - JEFF BERLIN

"When in 1976 bought the first record of Jaco I listened for an year and a half" MARCUS MILLER. " When I heard Jaco I was absolutely shocked by his records" VICTOR BAILEY

[skunkin53]

3:58 !!!!!

[kinggambitabc]

scofield is annoying, he plays too much with his brain

[skunkin53]

@kinggambitabc ya man! less thinking, MORE BLUES SCALE!!!

[Praying4tidalWaves]

@kinggambitabc yeah what a nerd.

[ericgodofthunder4567]

holly shit!!

[succubusch]

3 persons... they seems like teen! amazing. nothing empty, too much conection, a good think

[bottomendbasshead]

These dudes know they can play and love it too!

[BassGuitarGirl4]

Amazing. He's so fluid.

[ezwind76]

in the beginning of this video he is stringing up this bass and during the course of the vid mentions that it is in fact fretted. One of the view times you will hear him not playing a fretless

[pscelzamelo]

fretted bass?!

[SidhNayar]

Who's on drums? Anyone know?

[hedgepigs]

@SidhNayar Kenwood Dennard

[SidhNayar]

@hedgepigs Thanks much.

[kdkkdkdd]

The lick at 5:30 mark is tasty

[mfgiusti1961]

The Chicken from other espectacular power trio (Giusti-Bass, Piazzolla-Drums, Rovner-Guitar). Buenos Aires, 1995

Recommended

[hedgepigs]

@acewizard44 Sorry, but this is a fretted neck. If you watch the original 'Modern Electric Bass' video that this is taken from, you will plainly see he is using a fretted Fender Jazz.

[Jasmine1144]

13 strangers-not. WTF??!!!! WHY?!

[JonathanReichert]

@samuelG1991 good call fo sho.

[decart9]

It`s not bad.... it is GREAT !!!

[ZioPanik]

By now,the chicken is an holy animal:)
