Here’s a great performance of what turned out to be Weather Report’s last official lineup. The group is performing the tune “Where The Moon Goes”, originally recorded on the album, Procession.

Juan Alderete shared this on his Facebook page a while back, saying only “this leaves me speechless.” I feel about the same way. Filmed in Montreux in 1976, this clip captures the kind of energy you just don’t see in every band.

Adam Ben Ezra: Solo Bass Cover of Andy McKee’s “Drifting”

I can’t remember when I first discovered Adam Ben Ezra on Youtube, just that I was completely blown away. Browsing through videos today, I decided to go back and look at Adam’s older work. Then I stumbled upon Adam’s cover of the Andy McKee tune, “Drifting”. And once again: mind blown. In addition to incredible solo bass work, there’s some...

Jaco Pastorius, Alex Acuña and Manolo Badrena: Bass & Percussion Jam

Another gem emerges with a recording of Jaco Pastorius and his early years in Weather Report. As the story goes, Alex Acuña and Manolo Badrena had just finished a killer version of “Rumba Mama” when Jaco jumped in on bass. This all took place at The Roxy in Los Angeles. There’s only one problem with this clip: it is way...
