Jaco Pastorius – Word Of Mouth (1981)

Jaco Pastorius – Word Of Mouth (1981)

This is a very special momento for me, as I share this album with you. Word Of Mouth is the last full album Jaco recorded before he died in stupid ways in a bar fight with a stupid jerk, still in his 30´s. One can just imagine what he could have done if he had not died so young, because besides his solo projects he already had an intense and solid participation on the Weather Report band.  Actually this is the album through which I was first acquainted with Jaco´s works. Curiously enough, I owned the vinil of the album, but was never able to rehear it since my vinil player broke and I just couldn´t find it in the net, until now! So I´m sharing it with you girls and guys at the exactly same time that I am able to hear it again, after almost 15 years! So put on your best headphones, and enjoy it…

Jaco Pastorius – Jaco Pastorius (1976)

Jaco Pastorius – Jaco Pastorius (1976) [Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered]

This is a one changing mind record. After hearing Mister Pastorius plays the bass, you will never forget how he does it. He´s one of the first idols I had in my teenager years, more than 25 years ago, and still remains today, after many of them had faded into obscurity during the long and painfull process of maturation. Due to people like him, I started to pay attention more closely to music, to the beautiful and delicate ways it can surprise and marvel us. To an anxious and agitated aborrescent, this is quite an accomplishment. To have a better idea of what Jaco´s style represented, see what Pat Metheny says about him on the booklet of the present album´s reissue:

“jaco pastorius may well have been the last jazz musician of the 20th century to have made a major impact on the musical world at large. everywhere you go, sometimes it seems like a dozen times a day, in the most unlikely places you hear jaco’s sound; from the latest tv commercial to bass players of all stripes copping his licks on recordings of all styles, from news broadcasts to famous rock and roll bands, from hip hop samples to personal tribute records, you hear the echoes of that unmistakable sound everywhere.“
