Bobby Moses has been and remains one of my absolute all time favorite drummers. That is a rather short list but must include NRBQ' founding member Tom Staley, a raging bull, a magical imaginative musician with Moses' dynamics. Wonderful.
This is that trio of Pat, Jaco and Bob Moses, right? Pre 'Bright Size Life'...This must be live...I guess Bob Moses was right in his description of their live sound: "...It was like Cream w/ a lot of sixteenth notes and a million chord-changes.."
@@normanhirschfeld3823 His first choruses he is playing the changes, but taking more harmonic liberties as he went if you will - not going for the most clear and obvious note choices (the 'butter notes') as Pat does, but at some point he lost me around 4:55 and I must have lost the form (LOL!), because when Metheny brings in the head again @ 5:19 I had already passed the turn around into the next chorus and had actually reached the ii/V in C major - dm7/G7/C Maj - I suck! I probably rushed...
@@normanhirschfeld3823 You're correct, Pat cut his teeth playing Standards w/ Organ Trios and Quartets while a teen in Kansas City, where's Jaco's schooling was much more via the Latin, R&B, Soul, Funk of Florida and most notably during 1972 till early 1973, as the bassist for Wayne Cochran & CC Riders, doing the 'chitlin circuit'. Word is he did't know this tune the first time Pat called it on one of their first rehearsals for this trio, but he got around to it pretty quickly, but yeah, he came to Jazz via Soul and R&B/Funk, whereas Pat is more or less the more 'pure Jazz' of the two.
There was a killer version of "Stella by Starlight" from same '75 set on You Tube featuring a tight, outside solo by Jaco. Clip has been removed. Oh well. Would like to hear the set in its entirety if someone has it. Great stuff!
His biography claims that he originally wasn't familiar with this track. After looking at the chart for only a few seconds he was able to play it better than people who had been playing the song for 20 years.
Yeah, Bob Moses said Metheny called the song and Jaco asked for a sheet since he didn't know it. Moses was ticked off since they were going to play a set with a guy that didn't know a basic Jazz standard but Jaco merely glanced at the chart a few seconds and proceeded to totally kill it way beyond anything Moses ever heard anyone play the tune.
@@reff9289 Got your pen? History demands accuracy. That detail is important since in 1972, Pat was still in KC, finishing High School and Jaco was part of Wayne Cochran and the CC Riders - A Soul/R&B horn band where Jaco cut his teeth, playing 3/4 sets a night, 6 nights a week for about 10 months. That was his real 'school' as far as developing his endurance, stamina and even his arranging chops. Did you write it all down?...nah...because you obviously don't care, do you?
+Donald Higdon I guess the point is, this guy was playing double bass style on a conventional bass. Personally, it's his tone and treatment of harmonics that I appreciate.
I was there for this and countless others! Great time to be at Berklee!
was it at the greek theater? im so looking for that concert....
You have been blessed with a great wisdom of the music
@@love.JESUS.2day He's referring to the music scene in Boston, of which Berklee College of music was a big part of in early/mid 70s...
This is great look at an earlier stage of Metheny, and a great example of where Jaco was in his focused earlier years- Moses killing it on the kit...
21 years old. Crazy.
Jaco sei leggenda universale, eppure, quanto avrei preferito che fosti rimasto quà con noi.
16 04 2015 this is so beautiful, many, many thanks for having it posted The Jaco's & Pat Metheny "sangha" would absolutely relish it º namaste
Thanks for sharing, brother!
MUITO OBRIGADO !!!

@@normanhirschfeld3823 OK, as soon as I have some time I'm gonna comp along w/ my guitar and try to hear what he plays.

LOL..Or Maybe Metheny lost track of Jaco and came in late...Not impossible...But unlikely. I suck...

+Jaco Universe Yes, I would greatly appreciate the Pat/Jac0/Bob Moses live recordings! Thanks! Please send to mquinn3001@aol.com.
Thanks!
+Jaco Universe Hey dude, could you send any of these recordings to me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for posting this, man!
+Jaco Universe juanmanuelmaidana@hotmail.com Thanks a lot!
If you could send them to armstrong.jarred@gmail.com I'd apreciate you for life. Big Jaco fan.
So it was Jaco that started the underwear/pants thang? Who knew?
?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Conta solo la sua musica, tutto il resto è inutile!
Now this is the Pat I like.Not the dreamy, new agey stuff. 8))

Honestly I wonder if he wasn't having a little prank there
most probably ...
😃💚🌸🌱
Don't forget to mention Jerome Kern in the info.
Pat had a lot of listening to Jimmy Raney to do then.
Actually, Pat and Jaco met in 1973, not 1972.
Wait! let me get a pen... ( LOL... )

Wonderful! But Jaco's solo sounds a lot like Donna Lee...
donna lee was his trademark run for a long time, he would play it to show off himself from time to time
Mo
Not the best picture of him, not the best pant ever!
I guess there are 200 double bass players I'd rather hear than Jaco.

+Donald Higdon You dont understand NOTHING!!!! enough said/ Pelle
The fact that your comment hasn't been down-voted more is a fucking travesty.
lmao. travesty, when the feeling's gone and you can't go on.....
Donald Higdon FU and the doghouse you rode in on!!!
