Aah music .....
... music, music.
Even the music, "as the legendary Sheila in Hollywood Party. Anyone who knows me knows how I can not do without, as I like to try new bands, new genres, new styles. Occasionally, however, playback
artists or groups of years ago and there is often no more (...... in every sense, unfortunately).
These days I happened to be affected but supratutto to see in a Weather Report concert of 76 in Montreux.
For those not familiar with WR were born in the late 60's from the mind of Joe Zawinul, Austrian keyboardist transplanted in the United States after having played in the Miles Davis group decided to create his own training. With him
Wayne Shorter, saxophonist himself from the enormous pool of talent that was the group of Miles Davis. Miroslav Vitous
At low after a couple of album leaves the band to an artist who might be called the Hendrix of the electric bass: Jaco Pastorius. Legend has it that Jaco
after attending a concert of this Report is to Zawinul this way: "Hi, Jaco Pastorius, are common and are the greatest bassist in the world!"
It seems that Joe has said, "sod off, moron!"
fact is that some time after listening to a song Zawinul Jaco and it remains so much that he decided to call him, saying
"Hey boy, I love how you play the bass. you get on well with the electric bass?" And Jaco
:
"Joe, in that piece I played the electric bass" The next day
Pastorius was the Report.
The band explodes with Jaco, technique and sounds of the Fender Precision bass amended by the same (in practice had allegedly raised keys, the cracks filled with resin and painted with several layers of transparent boat) become legendary songs such as Birdland, Cannon Ball, Teen Town still retain a freshness and an incredible power.
Jazz, rock, fusion, latin, improvisation, these are the ingredients of the band but above all, the great talent that has brought together some strange alchemy, free to express respect and enhance the other menbri. Unfortunately, after some time
Jaco becomes enslaved to alcohol and began a downward slide that will end with death caused by a bouncer in a club in Florida after a beating.
few months earlier would perform in Genoa (at Margherita, sniff ..) I had tickets but the show was canceled, Jaco was already bad ......
For him that is the question I often do to Hendrix: "Who knows what is like playing now?" Hello Jaco
