During humanity's beautiful musical journey every once in a while a rare individual appears who approaches music and communicates his musical vision through his instrument in ways that were deemed impossible heretofore.
Jaco Pastorius (1951 - 1987) was unquestionably one of those individuals and his seminal debut album is as relevant today as it was back then.
τον ήχο δεν μπορεί να μην τον ξέρεις, δημιούργησε σχολή ο τζάκο τον έχεις σίγουρα ακούσει σε διαφημίσεις, ποπ τραγουδάκια, στον κινηματογράφο - ήταν μέγας και δυστυχώς έφυγε νωρίς (και φυσικά ήταν ο μπασίστας των weather report του κου zawinul)...

The attitude of the gallant Six Hundred which so aroused Lord Tennyson's admiration arose from the fact that the least disposition to ask the reason why was discouraged by tricing the would-be inquirer to the triangle and flogging him into insensibility.

Music posted here is for information purposes only. I don't subscribe to the notion that record companies are ripped off by the proliferation of blogs like this one. It is my firm belief that quite the contrary happens i.e. by bringing awareness to hitherto virtually unknown artists to the general public the music benefits greatly and a new level of interest is created.
Listeners are therefore kindly requested to buy the original music and support artists if they fancy what they hear - remember: if you like it, buy it!

απόλαυσέ τον και εδώ, στο birdland του zawinul, την μεγαλύτερή τους επιτυχία το 1978 (μάλλον από την ίδια παράσταση )
