WDR Big Band with Victor Bailey: The Music of Jaco Pastorius
Here’s the fantastic WDR Big Band with special guests Victor Bailey on bass and Peter Erskine on drums performing the music of Jaco Pastorius.
Things kick off appropriately with “Come On, Come Over”, the second track from Jaco’s debut album. Bailey does double duty on this one, playing the funky bass line while singing the vocals.
Other tunes include “Liberty City”, “Good Morning Anya”, “Teen Town”, “Reza”, “Three Views Of A Secret” and “Domingo”.
Jaco’s debut album opened with the explosive bass and percussion interpretation of “Donna Lee”. “Come On Come Over” was the second track.
I mean, seriously?
Dang. What a gaffe! My mind got all twisted with “first album” and it turned into first song. Thanks for pointing that out.
I think this concert was more focused on Jacos Big Band arrangments more so then just his solo piece’es
This footage is amazing! The level of musicianship by the entire band is a lesson within itself! Wow! Jaco was just as an amazing composer as he was a bass player. Pure genius. Thank you for sharing!
Great band and fantastic compositions! Jaco’s genius? What more needs to be said?
