As a lifelong jaco fanatic, I gotta say I really love the way him and herbie play together. Where him and zawinul could be like a hurricane playing, him and herbie could be like a calm summer shower. Both combos were great. Thank you for the post.

Absolutely! Although Jaco was capable of showing great bravado on his own albums, he was often a self-restrained yet very capable rythm section guy when playing with others bands. A perfect example of that would be the tune 4 A.M on Herbie's album Mr Hands.
"Borrowed" would be more like it. Saw the two with Joni, (and Tony Williams) in Berkeley 5/79. This was not long after the "Trio of Doom" trip to Havana. Fantastic afternoon outdoors. Richie Cole opened, having just lost the great Eddie Jefferson 2 weeks prior. Replaced that day by Dizzy!
Joni's backing band on the Shadows and Light dvd (same tour, from Santa Barbara, I think) has to be one of the greatest backing bands of all time, a fabulous show and where no one is upstaging the others in any bad sense.
Caught this band live in Hartford Ct. back then. The tune Gentle Thoughts was co-written w/ Wah Wha Watson but like you said, this tour was as a quartet so no guitar.
I think approaching the 2:51 mark, the one point that may have been missed was that Jaco first solo album came out in 1976 and Herbie was brought in by the producer of Jaco's album, therefore their first important encounter was when Herbie was playing on Jaco's album and Jaco was the "leader", whereas, with Weather Report, Zawinul and Shorter were the bosses (good cop, bad cop,...if you will) and was already an established group with those 2 cats as the clear co-leaders. By March 1977, "Heavy Weather" was released and the tune "Birdland" was a hit (for a jazz-fusion composition) and Jaco was a known bass phenom at that point given his solo album, so the word "borrow" or "borrowing" does not really apply.
Paul Jackson is better for this particular cut I enjoy Herbie and Jaco collab on kuru speak like a child it's more Jacos pace but this is definitely Paul's groove ❤
Thank you for this, Bret! I just found out from this video that just appeared on TH-cam that Wah Wah Watson wrote Gentle Thoughts. I had no idea! th-cam.com/video/9RsZifvSVSI/w-d-xo.html
Have it on Authority the fact that the Idol of many was NOT considered so "Great" to WahWa Ragin as per "Rythym".. Facts told me by those who were There.. I personally Knew (Know) James Levi.. Many of U Seriously need to Cool your Jets.. Ain't "Hatin" 'jus Sayin..
Would you be interested in a job? I need someone to write titles that get people to click and then watch my videos. Let me tell, it's a very very challenging job becuse no matter what you write, people will ALWAYS be screaming clickbait and then threatening to unsubscribe. Also you will average about $1.30 an hour doing TH-cam related work. Drop me an email with your qualifications and I'll submit your application to "The Committee." One other thing, you have to be prepared to be the subject of considerable racial hatred and animosity. For example, I'm Jewish and regularly get viewers who address me as that "Nigger Loving Kike."
Beautiful in every way-humanity at its´ real potential.
Been searching for this since You tube took it down Thanks again my brother for making my night.
Bass and bass drum in lockstep - it’s very basic stuff but it’s still a joy to hear it done right.
absolutely

Thanks, glad you did. So interesting to hear them play together.
he and herbie
the whole Chicago session is on Utube somewhere,i remember listening to it. another class
There are several versions, one recorded in Chicago and another at a University outside of Chicago.
Crazy groove with just one note please.
Maestro of all times.
RIP JACO.
We're still learning from Jaco.
This is so cool, time-traveling!
Really enjoyed this. Many thanks
Glad to hear it!

J'apprécie grandement vos aimables paroles. Content que tu aimes ce que je fais ! Restez connectés, le meilleur reste à venir.
It's so pleasurable to hear Jaco showing restraint and support in this context, with little bursts of embellishment when appropriate.
fascinging perspective on his playing here

AGREED.
Best Jazz ever done Jaco & Hebie💞
Not really, but..., okay.
Wish i would caught this, i lived in that area at the time!
Nice!
Looking forward...
I hope you like this. I love it!
Me too! I'm a huge Jaco fan.
Grait Post Ben🤙🙏🏻

Well said!

Wow...!

My home town!
I love Jaco‘s humble delivery here
Such an interesting contrast to his other work.
I think approaching the 2:51 mark, the one point that may have been missed was that Jaco first solo album came out in 1976 and Herbie was brought in by the producer of Jaco's album, therefore their first important encounter was when Herbie was playing on Jaco's album and Jaco was the "leader", whereas, with Weather Report, Zawinul and Shorter were the bosses (good cop, bad cop,...if you will) and was already an established group with those 2 cats as the clear co-leaders.

Well, I understand, but that's what Herbie said in his intro.
Niiiice!
Sooo tasty. Benny. Everyone. What a vibe.
This also shows a great side of Jaco being a great sideman and respecting Herbie's music, and just being 'Jaco'. Highly respectful on his part.
Odd to hear Jaco not hearing all the parts and doubling all the lines and just grooving over the chord changes until he starts reharmonizing at 10:00.
Jaco was a force of nature
❤
Genio
Bill Withers ‘Lovely Day’ vibe
yeah totally agree haha
exactly
NOOOOOOO HE DIDN'T
Gentle thoughts was written by the great Wah Wah Watson
Yes. He had a very distinctive style on the guiar.
Paul Jackson is better for this particular cut I enjoy Herbie and Jaco collab on kuru speak like a child it's more Jacos pace but this is definitely Paul's groove ❤

No you know! I was lucky to hear the live in '76 and this sound really jumped out at me. I've loved it every since.
Yo the part at 10 minutes…….

Why do you write this sort of comment? Does this help one? Does it make you feel more powerful? WHY???
bit of a clickbait title but cool tune

@@JazzVideoGuy Holy fuck!!!!.....harsh reply.....but pretty funny, and sad. Do you really get messages like that?
doop doop doop doop. doop doop doop doop not much of a work out for Jaco.
Great tune. I nominate Speak like a Child as the greatest Herbie tune. It's a tough choice.
