Stuart Clayton is back with another bass cover/transcription video, and this one is “devilishly challenging to play accurately,” he says. From Jaco Pastorius’s debut album, Stuart plays through “Come On, Come Over” on his Mayones Viking bass.

We can always count on Rick Suchow to unearth some true gems. Here’s one he just shared of Weather Report (with Jaco Pastorius) performing “The Pursuit Of The Woman With The Feathered Hat” in 1978.

No Treble reader Maarten Plukker shared this ambitious arrangement with us. Check out his reinterpretation of Jaco Pastorius’ “Okonkole Y Trompa.”

Today, we have a nice video featuring bass legend Nathan East and drummer Antonio Sanchez. They take on the classic tune, “The Chicken” (popularized for us by Jaco Pastorius). Nathan solos the back pickup and goes to WORK!

No Treble reader Maarten Plukker sent us a video of him taking on the funky Jaco Pastorius tune, “River People”. He said while many others have covered a few of Jaco’s other tunes, he believes this is one of Jaco’s more underrated bass lines.

We love sharing videos of impressive young bassists who are giving it their all. Hira Manga includes 10-year-old David William on bass, 13-year-old Tessa on vocals, and their father on guitar. Here they are performing “Come On, Come Over”.

Jason Matthews posted this stunning cover video on Facebook, and I had to share it. In this clip, he nails Jaco Pastorius’s “Continuum”. He even recorded it the way Jaco did back in the day.

Sax legend Gerald Albright sat in with The Cannonball Band to perform Pee Wee Ellis’s tune, “The Chicken”, as popularized by Jaco Pastorius. Bassist Denson Angulo lays down the groove on his fretless on this one.

I remember when Federico Malaman shared this video on Facebook back in 2015, but we never got the chance to share it here. Federico just revived this awesome (and funny) “Electric Bass Battle” with Anton Davidyants.

I stumbled upon a newly remastered version of Weather Report’s live performance in Belgrade on October 31, 1980. Jaco Pastorius is on fretted bass on this one, with the band tearing through “Birdland”, with Jaco’s “Liberty City” in the mix.

Bassist Simon Paré sent us this video of a very ambitious performance. Simon got together members of the Canadian Armed Forces Big Band and created an entirely virtual video performance of “Soul Intro” and “The Chicken”.

Weather Report’s “Black Market” was my introduction to the band. It was also my introduction to Jaco Pastorius and Alphonso Johnson. I’ve seen this video many times, but we’ve never shared it here: their live performance of “Black Market” at Montreux.
