Song 588 ( Jaco Pastorius - Slang )



This is probably Jaco's best known bass solo. It is quite bombastic and flashy, as to be expected with a solo on any instrument. While not really listenable to the ears of the average listener, to a connoisseur of music, (especially a bassist), it is quite nice to listen to. To create this live masterpiece he used loops and effects on his bass along with his incredible talent and showmanship.

Here is the recording from 8:30 on YouTube.
Here is a live performance of the song circa '79 on YouTube.
