Song Premiere: Jaco Pastorius, "Soul Intro/The Chicken," Live in 1982

A 35-year-old performance from the late bass legend Jaco Pastorius is finally receiving its full release on Record Store Day. Jaco Pastorius: Truth, Liberty & Soul was recorded at New York City's Avery Hall in June 1982, and was partially broadcast on NPR, but this is the first time that the full set, featuring Pastorius' Word of Mouth big band and harmonica icon Toots Thielemans, has been made available. "Soul Intro/The Chicken" wouldn't be officially released until the following year on his Invitation album. The RSD-exclusive 3-LP deluxe edition will be part of the festivities on April 22, with a CD and digital release following on May 19.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

Damn. That was really, really, really good. Thanks for posting. Probably the best 9 minutes and 10 seconds I will spend today. I couldn't get any work done while that was playing--it required my full, undivided attention.

Great to hear more from the same band as The Birthday Concert CD, which has been in pretty consistent listening rotation for me since it came out in 1995. And I've been playing bass since the 90's and still can't figure out how Jaco gets the sounds he does out of that instrument.

Very nice. I was always a fan of Weather Report and this makes me recall how prominent his bass work was in their sound (it's fun to play "Birdland" for typical millennials who have never heard that sort of thing).

His bio on Wiki is interesting and sad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaco_Pastorius

Bassist Brian Bromberg did a tribute album "Jaco" and here he's doing The Chicken if you want a side-by-side. See what you think:

A fairly recent bass-centric jazz album is Bromberg's Downright Uptight. Here he is on the McCann/Harris "Cold Duck Time":

Thanks for sending me back over to this side of the playground!

Sweet, wonder where I can score some. Bisco fans maybe?
