Barbary coast
(Pastorius)
Jaco's first composition recorded by weather report.
"at first, i didn't like that tune so much," zawinul told
pastorius biographer bill Milkowski. "it sounded too
much like a horace silver line to me. But then we
worked a little bit with it and got a nice groove
Happening. And, of course, that became a kind of
signature piece for jaco." Milkowski explained the
significance of the opening Sound of a train roaring
along the tracks: "this sound is much more than
atmospheric filler; it resonates with deep meaning for
Anyone who grew up in fort lauderdale near the
tracks that run alongside dixie highway. As a kid, jaco
would often wander along Those tracks for miles,
dreaming of places he might visit one day. Ironically,
those same tracks run past the kalis funeral home in
Fort lauderdale, the site of jaco's wake on september
24, 1987." [jaco]
Steve swallow's blindfold test comments about
"barbary coast:" This was jaco's premiere with the
band; alphonso is on some tracks. He makes a
dramatic entrance with one of his stock-in-trade
Grooves, one he'd perhaps been comfortable playing
in miami. He's made a great difference in the band,
and i like him on the new One [night passage] best of
all.
