An impressive double feature presenting the legendary electric bassist, Jaco Pastorius, live in Japan & Canada 1982, both with large and small groups, - featuring Randy Brecker, John Faddis, Toots Thielemans, Peter Erskine, Bob Mintzer, Paul McCandless & Don Alias. These performances give ample proof of Jaco’s continued brilliance. However, his downward spiral was near at hand. He would be diagnosed with a bipolar disorder shortly after these concerts. The medication he was given stopped him playing or composing, so he replaced them with hard drugs and alcohol and his behaviour became more and more erratic, which set the stage for the final tragedy. The Word of Mouth Big Band tracks were recorded at the Budokan, Tokyo, Japan, September 1, 1982. The sextet tracks were recorded at the 3rd Montreal Jazz Festival, in July 1982.
Jaco Pastorius
Active Decades: '70s and '80s
Born: Dec 01, 1951 in Norristown, PA
Died: Sep 21, 1987 in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Genre: Jazz
Jaco Pastorius was a meteor who blazed on to the scene in the 1970s, only to flame out tragically in the 1980s. With a brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination, Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention. He also sported a strutting, dancing, flamboyant performing style and posed a further triple-threat as a talented composer, arranger and producer. He and Stanley Clarke were the towering influences on their instrument in the 1970s.
Born in Pennsylvania, Pastorius grew up in Fort Lauderdale, where he played with visiting R&B and pop acts while still a teenager and built a reputation as a local legend. Everything started to come together for him quickly once he started playing with another rookie fusionmeister, Pat Metheny, around 1974. By 1976, he had been invited to join Weather Report, where he remained until 1981, gradually becoming a third lead voice along with Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter. Outside Weather Report, he found himself in constant demand as a sessionman and producer, playing on Joni Mitchell, Blood Sweat and Tears, Paul Bley, Bireli Lagrene and Ira Sullivan albums -- and his first eponymous solo album for Epic in 1976 was hailed as a tour de force. From 1980 to 1984, he toured and recorded with his own band, the innovative Word of Mouth that fluctuated in size from a large combo to a big band.
Alas, Pastorius became overwhelmed by mental problems, exacerbated by drugs and alcohol in the mid-'80s, leading to several embarrassing public incidents (one was a violent crack-up on-stage at the Hollywood Bowl in mid-set at the 1984 Playboy Jazz Festival). Such episodes made him a pariah in the music business and toward the end of his life, he had become a street person, reportedly sighted in drug-infested inner-city hangouts. He died in 1987 from a physical beating sustained while trying to break into the Midnight Club in Fort Lauderdale. Almost totally forgotten at the time of his death, Pastorius was immediately canonized afterwards (Marcus Miller wrote a tune "Mr. Pastorius" in his honor) -- too late for him to have received therapy or help.
