I think Joni Mitchell was the only one who has ever been able to canalise him the right way. Pat Metheny is also excellent as well as Joni Mitchell of course. I always saw that gig as the end of Jaco's golden era, there were signs even during it that things were sliding 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hejira is, of course, another gem from that stable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hejira is, of course, another gem from that stable. Hejira is equally good, in fact probably better, I guess I was thinking about Jaco as a live/gigging ensemble player when I posted. He plays some sublime parts in the live show, but he also on occasion, doesn't 🤔 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably noticed, but if not, have a listen at around 2:55...Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays craftely drop a phrase from 'Phase Dance' into the proceedings... I think Pat even has a little chuckle... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s a magical event, the fading light and the fact it was right at the end of the last summer of the 70’s add a really interesting dynamic and subtext also, adds to the ‘end of an era’ feel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to listen to without being transported right back there 😁 Edited August 11, 2023 by Waddo Soqable Stupid filter rubbish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
