| | Ultimate Jaco Pastorius CD Jaco Pastorius Discography of CDs
At 10 tracks, ULTIMATE may seem a little thin, but the range and level of invention present in those tracks is enough to compensate for the short running time. While some key tracks seem to be missing (his scintillating version of "Birdland" ... Full Descriptionwith Weather Report, for example), the selections--"Donna Lee," "3 Views of a Secret" and "Liberty City," among them--show off all the technical dazzle of Pastorious's playing, as well as his formidable skills as an arranger and bandleader. PUNK JAZZ offers a more complete overview, but for a concise sampler of the artist, it's hard to go wrong with this set.
Legendary bassist Jaco Pastorious was involved in so many different projects, and had his fingers in so many musical pies, that it's difficult to get a comprehensive grasp on his oeuvre. For this reason, compilations offer a particularly useful introduction, and 2007's ULTIMATE JACO PASTORIOUS (along with 2003's PUNK JAZZ: THE JACO PASTORIOUS ANTHOLOGY) are good bets.
Personnel include: Jaco Pastorius (piano, synthesizer, electric bass); Joni Mitchell (vocals); Hubert Laws (flute); Randy Emerick (alto flute, clarinet, baritone saxophone); Alex Foster (piccolo, clarinet, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone); Toots Thielemans (harmonica); Mario Cruz (clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Bob Mintzer (bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Paul McCandless (oboe, English horn, tenor saxophone); Don Bonsanti, Gary Lindsay (woodwinds, saxophone); Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone); Michael Brecker (tenor saxophone); Brian O'Flaherty, Elmer Brown, Forrest Buchtel, Kenneth Faulk, Jon Faddis, Melton Mustafa, Randy Brecker, Brett Murphey, Ron Tooley (trumpet); Jerry Peel, Peter Gordon, Steve Roitstein, Brad Warnaar (French horn); Peter Graves (trombone, bass trombone); Dave Bargeron (trombone, tuba); Russ Freeland, Mike Katz, Wayne Andre, Bill Reichenbach (trombone); Joe Zawinul (piano, keyboard); Herbie Hancock (piano); Chester Thompson (drums); Jack DeJohnette, Peter Erskine (drum); Don Alias (congas, percussion); Manolo Badrena (congas); Leroy Williams , Othello Molineaux (steel drum); Robert Thomas Jr, Alex Acuna, Emil Richards, Oscar Salas (percussion).

Ultimate Jaco Pastorius album
 $13.65    
In addition to having excellent cover art (an illustrated cityscape in which a giant saxophone--complete with windows, a doorway, and stoop--takes its place among the neighboring buildings), LENOX AVENUE BREAKDOWN is also a dynamic, unjustly overlooked jazz album. Prodigiously talented as an instrumentalist and composer, alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe was one of the most innovative jazz musicians of the 1970s and '80s, and LENOX AVENUE BREAKDOWN, his Columbia Records debut, proves it.
Blythe's ability to marry the best of the genre's traditions (he is equally versed in swing, post-bop, and romantic styles) with his avant-garde leanings is evident here. "Odessa," for example, a modal exploration, begins melodically, yet pushes further into free-jazz territory as the tune progresses. The angular bop of the title track is offset by adventurous soloing and ...
| | Sonny Rollins Without A Song (The 9/11 Concert) CD (2005)
Ultimate Jaco Pastorius CD music
$14.39 
Recorded on September 15th, 2001, WITHOUT A SONG is a live recording by jazz icon Sonny Rollins, observing the World Trade Center disaster that occurred just four days prior to the concert. Rollins was one of the few musicians from jazz's golden age still performing with a sense of vitality, and that is especially clear on this recording, which is imbued with the gravity appropriate to the aforementioned tragedy.
Yet the proceedings are never overwhelmed by pathos or grief. ...
| | Bob Dylan No Direction Home: The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 CDs (2005)
Ultimate Jaco Pastorius music CDs
$15.85 
The soundtrack to Martin Scorcese's two-part PBS documentary on Bob Dylan, NO DIRECTION HOME is a two-disc affair consisting almost entirely of previously unreleased material. One couldn't start any further towards the beginning of Dylan's career than this collection's first track, "When I Got Troubles," a modest, folkish tune caught on tape by a high school friend and presumed to be the first original Dylan song ever recorded. From there, we follow the breakneck trajectory of Dylan's early career, as he develops at an unprecedented rate, from young Woody ...
