Jaco Pastorius: Live in Montreal

Overview: Filmed at the Montreal Jazz Festival in the early 1980s, this concert provides nearly an hour of first-class jazz. Bob Mintzer is outspoken on tenor sax in the opening number, underpinned by Jaco’s clear and propulsive bass. Othello Molineaux coaxes a wide range of sounds out of a single steel drum, possibly the most awkward musical instrument ever devised by man, but Othello makes it sing radiantly.
