Jaco Pastorius & Rashied Ali: Donna Lee

Following a 4-day workshop in Martinique, Jaco Pastorius and Rashied Ali play a concert on December 14, 1984.
Once released under the title Blackbird(while donning the silhouette of a pelican on the cover), the recorded performance has long been nearly impossible to find. Unfortunately the audio quality is not up to par.
Student bassists Michel Hatzigeorgiou, Reno Steba, Alan Brennan, and Angel Vicens joins the duo at various times during the performance. Hatzigeorgiou guests on Donna Lee and Reno Steba is featured on Continuum, specifically.

So is this Jaco butchering the melody here?

[middlebit]

Yeah, that's him fluffing those notes.

He looks like steve vai with those faggy glasses.... just kidding! only steve vai looks faggy with them.

he is flipping off all of the bassists in world like "I'm the best, motherfucker." he actually said stuff like that which I find hilarious because he was so arrogant even though he really was the best.

They should have killed the drummer -

No one can play this tune with such bad rhythm underneath....
