Weather Report,Jaco Pastorius/CA,USA 1976

Most of the audience had a huge impact with his rocker-like appearance that they were seeing for the first time, and his eyes were glued to his divine technique that no one had ever heard before.Who the hell was he?The scene of the audience going wild was also real. The first appearance of the spectacular live performance at the jazz festival immediately after the bassist revolutionary Jaco Pastorius joined! ! Jaco Pastorius, a revolutionary bass player, joined the band during the production of the masterpiece “Black Market,” and suddenly became a household name with his magnificent performances on stage during a large-scale US tour that began in April 1976. The live show in April immediately after Jaco joined Jaco has several performances in stock, including his memorable first stage at Weather, but within about two months of joining Jaco, he has already become the core of the band. It’s being towed! Once again, you can’t help but be amazed at their presence and influence.The May 29, 1976 jazz festival performance in Berkeley, California is recorded for the first time in high-quality sound with the label’s own careful mastering. Titles have arrived! ! To the audience, Jaco was still a completely unknown bassist, but the opening songs “Elegant People”, “Scarlet Woman”, and “Come Over” from Jaco’s first solo album were inserted. , Jaco’s first original weather number “Barberry Coast” recorded on “Black Market”, and Jaco’s amazing solo on “Port of Tracy” that far exceeds human skill, ” “Cannonball”, “Black Market”, “Dr. Honoris Kousa” from Shorter’s introduction of the members, “Rumba Mama”, a short piece between songs by Manolo Badrena and Alex Acuña, and “Rumba Mama”, which is not yet completed. You can also listen to fragments of “Birdland”, “Directions” written by Zawinul during his time with the Miles Group, “Badia”, and “Gibraltar” as the stage progresses, I am so jealous that I was lucky enough to have an encounter with the unknown. You can realistically see the audience’s eyes widen in amazement at Jaco’s amazing technique and unique playing style that is unlike anyone else’s. Overall, Jaco said that if he were to go on tour, he wouldn’t go unless Acuña was the drummer.Acuña’s drums from Peru, Puerto Rican Badrena’s percussion and vocalization, and Jaco’s from Florida, where Jaco grew up. The laid-back funk rhythm arrangement with an emphasis on grooves with a tropical flavor is notable, and the playing is completely different from the speedy and technical route that followed the addition of Peter Erskine on drums, and both Zawinul and Shorter at the time The performance is very groovy, following Weather’s current masterpiece and confident work “Black Market”! Also, Jaco’s performance as a bassist during his transitional period with Weather, which entered his golden age just after he had almost completed his career, is very interesting as it seems to hit the essence of Jaco…Finally, the lineup has been completely changed. Zawinul is enthusiastic and enjoys the fresh sound, and Shorter, who for some reason has a good reputation for his wonderful performance right after the member change in Weather, is great!
