Jaco on Netflix

[TwinBass]

So, I was surfing netflix streaming content last night and I spotted a Jaco concert. Consider this a friendly public service announcement. Even my wife, who is basically musically illiterate, was totally impressed by the concert. If you have netflix streaming, check it out. I'm away from home right now, so I can't find the exact title, but I will update later with the specifics. In the meantime, I'm sure a search for "Jaco Pastorius" should be adequate.

Mods, I wasn't sure whether this should be under "bassists" or "recordings" so feel free to move it to the appropriate spot if necessary.

Is it the Montreal concert or Aurex Festival?

Like I said, I'm not home right now (loving the iPhone app) but I'll add more details later. But I'm going to respond to your question with another question...

Does it matter?

It's the Live and Outrageous, I think that was filmed in Montreal, it's been awhile since I've seen it.

The Jaco concert on Netflix is called Live and Outrageous. It was filmed at the 1982 Montreal Jazz festival.

Just got done watching it. I know this sounds dumb, but I was reminded again just how awesome Jaco was. Made it look real easy !!!!

Obviously, there's a bassist over at Netflix watching out for us.

I tried to watch it and about 20 minutes into it when it goes to a Jaco solo part the audio cuts horribly. Weird.

I laughed when I saw how they were all dressed like Muppets. The drummer especially lol.

It was like a Muppet and Bob Ross convention all wrapped in up in one.

hate that kinda jazz.. but DAYUM he was good... even if he does waddle like a duck.

Yep. Sure is. I forget the name of the documentary but I watched it on Netflix last week. I had never really listened to the Who much (I'm a jazz guy) and was always confused when people mentioned Entwistle on this site. Well, I watched the whole thing and am still as confused as ever.

There is a bunch of Who/Entwistle available for streaming on Netflix.

Jaco wasn't going through one of his better periods when that concert was filmed.

Jaco was known at certain periods to cover himself in crap...
