Jaco Pastorius Tribute Concert featuring Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Marcus Miller, Carlos Santana, Hiram Bullock, Bob Weir, Victor Baily, Peter Erskine, Don Alias, and others.

From Relix Magazine, Issue 15-02 -- March/April 1988:

Some of the top names in the world of jazz showed up January 31st at The Omni in Oakland, for a benefit for the family of the late jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius. This historic summit was organized by Bay Area jazz drummer Brian Melvin and featured the likes of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Hiram Bullock, Bob Weir and Little John Chrisley. Melvin's group, Nightfood, served as the house band as the parade of legendary jazz masters took to the stage for Jaco, who was regarded as the most innovative bassist in the world. Miles Davis' bassist Marcus Miller and Weather Reports' Victor Bailey also joined the six hour musical marathon. Bob Weir, who had jammed with Jaco last year when Pastorius was playing with Nightfood in San Francisco, fronted a twelve piece band that included Bullock, Santana, Chrisley and Melvin and rocked out incredible long jam versions of "Fever," "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" and "I Shot the Sheriff." The highlight of the evening though was when Carlos Santana was joined by Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Chester Thompson, Hiram Bullock, Victor Bailey, Marcus Miller, Don Alias, Bob Weir, Michael Carabello and Jose Chepeta Areas for an explosive jam that included "Goodness and Mercy" and "Mandela." Guitarist Hiram Bullock was most impressive, and he and Carlos seemed to be talking to each other via the guitar in a jam session that will be remembered for some time to come.

Notes: Jaco Pastorius Benefit Concert The Omni Oakland CA January 31, 1988 NTSC Shot from a position left of the stage by a crew member or one of the audience. mr_mags kindly upped the AUD version of this great concert almost exactly 3 years ago. It's still to be found here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=270976&hit=1 Last week I got the incomplete DVD of the very same show.Yes, incomplete, but nevertheless a true gem!!! A brilliant example of the recognition of Jaco's craftmanship and an ode to music in general. I think the money raised that night, was for Jaco's kids: John and Mary, also one of the songtitles. An awful lots of musicians were there, most of which are mentioned below and partly in brackets behind the songtitle) I've taken the liberty to use some of mr_mags info in regard to the songtitles and made some additions myself.

It was a benefit for Jaco's children's sake. Narada Michael Walden was advertised but did not show. Different musicians circulated & recirculated onto the stage throughout the night. The set was eclectic which reflects Jaco's career. Herbie & Wayne made only short appearances. The version of Mandela is to die for-IMO. Anyway, Jaco would have loved it. I think I have another more complete source(weaker SQ) on cassette. Just FYI.

Even the hissy unremastered DAT version (3 CD!) that I uploaded here years ago might be appreciated. enjoy mr_mags
