Jack Pastorius One Of Those Things

Jack Pastorius, Jaco's Dad, greatest crooner, AND stand up drummer.
1961, Jack is singing "Just One Of Those Things", and playing stand-up drums with a young man named Kenny Duca on the Cordovox, who died around the age of 30. Kenny plays all the melodic/harmonic material, including the bass lines. All the tracks they recorded that day were done in one take. The whole session was about an hour long.

@cliffworks4321 Yes, it is Kenny Duca on the Cordovox, who died around the age of 30. Kenny plays all the melodic/harmonic material, including the bass lines. All the tracks they recorded that day were done in one take. The whole session was about an hour long. (1961)

@IPastorius hey is that you Ingrid? Cliff here in Tokyo, we survived the quake tsunami, wife's mom did not, dad has been found in a shelter, many other relatives still missing, then we had another shock last night; Knucks out in LA has heart disease and is hanging on. btw In the 70's I used to play with Tommy Gumina one of world's top jazz accordionists and founder of Polytone Amps, with Art Pepper.

@cliffworks4321 Yes, Cliff, it's me....I am so, so very sorry to hear about your Mother-in-law, I feel so bad for your wife, and all your family members affected. It is quite sad for Japan, and the whole world what has happened, breaks my heart. I send you all much peace and strength. Hearing about Knucks saddens me as well, I just sent him a message via FB, man...life sucks sometimes. Please stay well among all this hardship, let me know if there is anythng I can do. Please stay in touch.

Thanks Ingrid, for putting this up! There is so little of Jack to be heard. Hearing him sing on PORTRAIT OF JACO was cool. Cliff: Sorry to hear of your wife's family misfortune. I lived in Tokyo for a couple of years. My nephew has been there since '09. I saw Jaco play in Shinjuku on 6/24/80. Still have the program. One set and it was greatness! SRO... We were on the front rail of the balcony where I snapped some pics.
