Jaco Pastorius & Rashied Ali: Fannie Mae

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.

@Salvadoresunpablo Sinceramente el decadente eres tu... yo lo encuentro increíblemente talentoso durante toda su trágica vida. Esta versión es una jam genial... jamas traiciono su estilo y este tema su interpretación es única. si criticas esta versión es por que realmente no has escuchado su música.

Tienes todo el derecho de expresar si te gusta o no, pero jamas tildar de decadente a un músico que aporto tanto a la música mundial, especialmente al desarrollo del bajo eléctrico.

It could be because Fannie Mae is a Blues based song and it doesn't require a high amount of advanced drumming so Ali was relaxing during this song.

Que decadente.

Tan bueno que era.

That can't be Ali on drums. It must be one of the students.
