Julius Pastorious Plays With Bassist Massimo Selvi

Ezbass · #1 08-26-2009, 11:22 AM

OK I've done a search with no results. So have you guys come across this gentleman? Look and sound familiar? That's Jaco's son on drums, so how creepy is that? Check Massimo's website, he even has similar features. The guitarist is doing a good Metheny impression too.

Edit: just seen he's a TBer, no posts though.

Phenomenal!!!

I really dig the energy and spirit of that performance.

The bass player certainly looks like he is heavily influenced by Jaco. He has the look, the moves, and the bass, and his playing is nice too. He must be ecstatic to be playing with Jaco's son.

Clone perhaps, but I dig that clip.

Hhmm... not sure.

A little too close to those Elvis impersonators for my taste. (i.e., too similar to be interesting or original, but not similar enough to be killing like the real thing IMO). No offense to the player, but kind of disturbing to me in a way.

Yep.
I was trying to be polite here but at second inspection...no thanks.

Elvis impersonator???

yeah, I can dig how some people will be turned off by the similarities. Can't be helped I suppose. It's not like he's jumping on the bass and playing "Teen Town" though (unless I just haven't found that clip yet...

)

The guy can play - brilliantly imo. A lot of what Jaco left us in those later years was dreck. Nice to have some new, *good* stuff in that style to listen to.

Just my opinion, of course

I was talking about the haircut, the hat, the mannerisms (and I guess the tone and licks also). No big deal, just a little, well, disturbing to me. It's one thing to sound like somebody else. It's quite another to 'become' copies of them

Again, pure IMO.

Yeah, and what's up with him being all wirey and sort of olivey looking? What a copy cat??

I was about to say that I can't find a clip of him playing anything, but then I did find a youtube clip where he bebopping pretty good...

Lackey · #14 10-12-2009, 08:59 PM

This Sucks.

Let me clarify - Oh wait, I don't need to.

Come on guys, some folks have already recorded Bright Size Life before....

geez.

Lackey · #15 10-12-2009, 09:12 PM

Seriously though, I'm not trying to be a prick, but hear this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RF6GJnPh7Y

That's more than a little bit derivative - that's A LOT. And frankly it's kind of annoying. And that's just his playing. Throw in the look, the moves, the bass....

I bet a certain someone is cracking up in his grave right now.

narud · #16 10-12-2009, 10:35 PM

the memo has been sent to fusion weenie's- you have to play like garrison. duh.

That would be even worse

I grew up in south Florida with Jaco's twin sons Julius and Felix....Felix is the bass player....they played in a band called the Way of the Groove with my good friend on guitar....they covered just about every Jaco, weather report, and herbie tune you could find....I have a few CDs of all of us jamming in my friends living room with Felix and I switching off on bass....good to see Julius is doing cool stuff without his bro....

On yet further inspection... kind of insulting.
No?
Not sure if that "certain someone" is cracking up or crying right now

jerry · #20 10-13-2009, 05:54 PM

Yeah but,.....he has block inlays.

He looks young, I'd give him some time to come up with his own voice, we almost all go through a hero-worship phase. He certainly has the technique and foundation to go wherever he wants.
