Weather Report 'Birdland' tribute to Jaco Pastorius & Joe Z.

A short, humble tribute to Jaco Pastorius and Joe Zawinal, my heroes. They were the best.
This is abridged, acoustic, nothing fancy, no solos, no accompaniment, just simply piano.
(We had to transpose it up a half step, because when I played it electrically with left foot bass pedals, the Moog Taurus only went down to C, not the needed B). Not that anyone but me cares.

Nice! I miss the ascending chromatic part though :)

[MayadaJeffery]

Yeah, I forgot the chromatic descending lick when I had the recorder on, and later thought it was good to keep it short, since it's all acoustic and rather dry anyway.

But thanks.

I really enjoy you and your kids piano playing. You all inspire me! I might just post some vids of me playing the piano on my channel...

Lol, C is just G without the little "T" on the bottom end of it! XD

My mistake, it's a wonderful piece how ever ya play it!

[ressuvhio]

Not plaing but playing. :) Sorry for my mistake. Btw nice playing. Birdland and Black Market are in my opinion the best of Weather Report tracks. :)

[ressuvhio]

Birdland is in the key of G. He is plaing in Ab.

[tsnaruto]

cool, I usually play the piece in key c.
