Donna Lee - Jaco Pastorius Big Band (Aurex Jazz Festival 82)

[deafpeax]

RIP Jaco P and Don Alias . . .

[TLBJohnnyAlpha]

this is awesome, if you're not at least nodding your head along to this you have a major malfunction

[paganinilovedkebab]

amazing trumpet

[JrocBass07]

Chris Farley on tuba!

[danielstevan26]

8:08 He does not need presentation..

[TheIr0nical]

Spectacular. Say I'm only seventeen and really want to get into Jazz but I don't know where to start....

Any recommendations? Besides Jaco of course. This has convinced me to get more into Jazz, because listening to stuff like this is always intensely satisfying and liberating. I LOVE IT.

[EGIL94]

@TheIr0nical Hey :) I recommend you Benny Goodman, Sidney Bechet, Charly Parker, Django Reinhardt, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Jukka Tolonen, Ornette Coleman... :) I love to listen and play jazz :D

[contrabassbob]

8:37- tuba bass line under electric bass solo!

[ghostlyboy08]

How did he play a note that high on the tuba

[pindaric]

Tuba is freakin' amazing. Not just the multiphonics but that bop solo!

[aakkoin]

the tuba really was great! love the playing and the deep sound

and at 2:00 he looks exactly like John Goodman..

[addyr100]

haha never heard a steel drum play this tune before. all these guys are cats

[ericoschmitt]

dude.. that saxophonist playing the clarinet is just amazing. how can someone play an instrument that makes octave harmonics, then plays a clarinet that has only octave+fifth harmonics and a totally crazy fingering so well, both in the same life? O_O

[ericoschmitt]

OMG he makes multiphonics on a tuba!

[HowPeculiar1]

Only Jaco would have the daring genius to start a Jazz Standard with a free tuba solo.

[JazzeRose]

ooh my god this is so FAT!

[mperik71]

At 7:14 during Bobby's sexy solo... Jaco is looking as if he's saying 'I can't help it either...'

[Pastorius333]

I think this music is glorious, and certainly worthy

of acclaimation. Jaco and the other musicians

involved are all personal favorites of mine. And to those

of you( hopefully few) who find this boring, here's

my advice: Try to look away from the abstract aspects

of this music and at least enjoy it on a cultural level :)

[HowPeculiar1]

@Pastorius333 But there are 0 dislikes?

[Pastorius333]

@HowPeculiar1

If you scroll down and look at the other comments you'll see that a person thought this video was boring. I think that qualifies as a dislike :P

[ricaard]

@Pastorius333 Well said.

[aakkoin]

@Pastorius333 What do you mean by "abstract aspects" and "cultural level"? I think music, especially jazz/instrumental is pretty abstract. Musicians try to deliver feelings with their playing but very rarely those feelings are clear (like happy, sad, lazy, whatever). Many times the feelings are abstract and inarticulate... If one can't enjoy these abstract aspects how can they enjoy it on a "cultural level"...?

Frankly747: It's interesting how widely people's reaction to music differ. This music excites the hell out of me!

[MUSICRTW]

Walk that bass line Dave! Walk it!

[ConnorDan08]

holy crap david is a beast

[Frankly747]

These guys are really good but their music is too abstract --- oh pliz, what do I care -- it's BORING ! !

[MrIlvis]

@Frankly747

Fuck you! Ha.

Who is boring here? :D

[Zillacello]

@Frankly747

The Good Book encourages us to "cast not thy pear;s before swine."

If you're bored, please go get an education before you post here again. If not, you'll only embarass yourself to the rest of us (without even realizing it).

Thanks for playing-- try again.

[jazzyla9]

My goodness! What it must have been like to have been in band with Jaco and all of the monster musicians that surrounded him on stage! What a band!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sirchrisirc]

HAHA 7:12

[gonesailing94]

AWSOME! love it!

[whaacke1]

David Bargeron at the Iridium NYC this week at "Jacofest" on my way this Sat... great player, bassists can learn a lot by listening to the tuba players.. how to handle low response and similar sustain issues... oh well peace

[iwrotesham]

Brecker ain't bad either.

[dogdirts]

Amazing Tuba
