Jaco Revisited (Playlist Episode #65)
A few days ago I finally got a chance to watch Jaco the latest documentary about legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius. It is an excellent, illuminating, emotional, and beautiful portrait painted by brushstrokes of interviews with friends, family, colleagues, musicians, against a canvas of archival footage spanning his entire life and career. Highly recommend watching it. In light of this, much of the music is focused on Jaco (or Jaco-related). Staying with the theme of movies and music, there is music from Trumbo (another movie recently viewed with a very fine soundtrack--songs #9 and #10), and two Bill Frisell tracks (#11 and #12) written for films, as well as music that is not part of a soundtrack (#13 and #14) . Instead, these are tracks that sound to me like music in search of a film. Finally, this week's list finishes with two more favorites from 2015. A full plate of sounds this week!
Thanks for listening!
