jaco interview

[danielstevan26]

Wow, didn't know that Bil Laden's black son were that amazing..

[SchizophrenicReality]

Bob Mintzer soprano sax, it's Jacos band spread with more horns his Greatest Works !!!

[johnb696]

Listen to Jaco's notes from 4:53-5:25. He takes the groove into outer space.

[def2008]

@aakkoin The Chicken is not a tune from Jaco, it's tune from Alfred James Ellis...

[vargaso]

Faddis is killing it on lead. That dude has chops of titanium.

[aakkoin]

I love the song, but wonder why jaco wrote so many references to the chicken..?

[gregtron111]

weird tension between soloers with toots there. Personally I'd rather just hear bob berg and randy trade but toots keeps trying to step in. D:

[radiopete]

WHAT A BAND !!!!! With Toots Thielmans, harmonica; Othello Moleneaux, pans; Randy Brecker, trumpet; Peter Erskine, Drums.

@Skidhblanir

You just do not understand outside phrasing!

[efergarmx]

This song makes me explode of happyness.

[Bowser28]

@Skidhblanir dude get the fuck out of here

[PINCHUNO]

@Skidhblanir ? That trumpet player? You mean the legend that is randy Brecker?

[FCntertainr]

Notice in respect to Joe Zawinul Jaco did not use a keyboard player! Does not make any difference in the harmonic content , he is sorley missed.-Fc

[kajgod1]

he's a genius

[Moog167]

This song grooves/swings sooooo hard!!!!

[NikoisBack]

No big bands today can play like them.

[chopper3a]

squizme i m a blind deseible person and i use a braile system , i lern english and german by school , but i m sorry to ofended you, was no my intention,i born blind , but i enjoy all thats music by jaco , i know i cant see him , but i guess i can listening very well , i got a mode , red my message by a voice is a program by microsoft for blind person like me and many millons in my possition , also i play bass and a friend of my he did my fender in jaco colours, sad i never gonna know how colours

[chopper3a]

PASTORIUS was a "big" no doubt, is incredibly how a electric bass player did so much and with a hight tasty and armonic sence in every tune !

There is light years in between him and the rest of the bass players.

i guess jeff Berlin also is in the same caliber than jaco.

i m with u man !!

and also a big hug to all those bass players , have a sunburn jazz bass (not to copy the great jaco) just to give honor in his memory !!

cheers to all of them !!

chopper

[hub1971]

@Nyama74 point taken. didn't realise chopper was blind. it was a stupid thing to say anyway, and i've removed it. hub.

[hub1971]

@chopper3a sincere apologies for my very dumb comment. have removed it. hub x.

[MrIlvis]

Toots is one veryyyy nice guy and improviser. :) Sense of humour is with Jaco and Toots. Love this performance!!! :)

My best musician Jaco and best harmonica player Toots. :))

[kamelmat]

[lidesnowi]

The greatest Big band of all time

[bobvanluijt]

5:23 is so cool! And mr. Toots is killing @ 0:38

[Durva101]

[Durva101]
