Our Take

Jacolosophers rejoice, for the legend that is Jaco Pastorius has gifted us with Word of Mouth. This album is like a sonic rollercoaster, with twists and turns that will leave you questioning reality and existence as we know it. Pastorius' bass skills are on full display here, with each note pulsating with a life force of its own. The jazz fusion on this album is so buttery smooth, it's like swimming in a pool of melted chocolate.

Tracks like "Crisis" and "3 Views of a Secret" showcase Pastorius' ability to blend different genres effortlessly, creating a sound that is truly unique. The way he effortlessly transitions from funky bass lines to intricate solos is nothing short of mesmerising. And let's not forget the star-studded lineup of musicians on this album, including Herbie Hancock and Michael Brecker, who add their own touch of magic to each track.

Word of Mouth is like a musical journey through space and time, with Pastorius as our fearless guide. So buckle up, dear listeners, and prepare to have your minds blown by the sheer brilliance of this album. Jaco Pastorius may be gone, but his music will live on forever in the hearts of all who listen.

About the artist

Jaco Pastorius

Profile: JACO PASTORIUS Jaco Pastorius might be gone, but his revolutionary impact on the world of music lives on in ways that cannot be overstated. The man who brought the bass guitar to the forefront of jazz fusion, Pastorius was a true visionary whose virtuosity knew no bounds. Born in Pennsylvania in 1951, Jaco quickly rose to fame as a member of Weather Report, where his jaw-dropping bass lines and innovative techniques captivated audiences worldwide. His self-titled solo album, released in 1976, is still considered a masterpiece to this day, showcasing Pastorius' incredible talent as both a composer and performer. But it wasn't just his technical prowess that set Jaco apart – it was his daring creativity and willingness to push boundaries that truly made him a musical icon. From his groundbreaking use of harmonics to his ability to seamlessly blend jazz, funk, and rock influences, Pastorius was a true trailblazer who paved the way for generations of bassists to come. Tragically, Jaco's life was cut short in 1987, but his legacy continues to inspire countless musicians across the globe. Whether you're a die-hard jazz enthusiast or just a casual listener looking to expand your horizons, Jaco Pastorius is a name that simply cannot be ignored. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let the master himself show you what true musical genius looks like.
