Jaco Pastorius: The Complete Shadows & Light Solo

by Corey Brown | Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

For years, Jaco Pastorius‘s “Slang” solo on Joni Mitchell’s Shadows & Light DVD has been a wildly popular clip.

Turns out, we’ve only heard part of it.

Obviously, someone in the editing room decided to cut Jaco’s solo down for the DVD. Thankfully, we can now hear the complete solo, including parts of “Chromatic Fantasy”.

The solo was recorded live a little over 30 years ago at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, on September, 9th 1979.

I have the record and have now gone through 2 VHS copies and the DVD. This was my first opportunity to watch Jaco play. I met him briefly after watching him play at Seventh Avenue South in NYC a year or two before he died.
