Jaco Pastorius New Reggae Bass Solo ( Live in Ann Arbor 1983)
Here s a recording I just got in a trade of Jaco soloing over his tune New Reggae during a WOM gig that took place in Ann Arbor in October of 1983. New Reggae is a tune that was a regular feature on the set lists for this tour, and of the recordings I ve heard this is the most interesting solo I ve heard him play on it. He sounds focused and at the top of his game to my ears, especially when considering what a chaotic tour this generally was and the mental issues he was struggling with at the time. The rest of the band on this gig was: Don Alias percussion, Mike Stern guitar, Kenwood Dennard drums, Alex Foster saxophone and Melton Mustafa trumpet
