The same year Jaco joined Weather Report, they performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The date was July 8, 1976, and Jaco was in the spotlight with this solo performance. He was just 24 years old.

Ah Jaco….we hardly knew you and you were gone but not forgotten. A rare and original musician.
Wouahouuuuuu!
Don’t know what fantastic planet he was from, certainly not this one:)
Pure genius and a rare phenomenon!
Genius. no words to describe the sounds coming out of that bass
From his original album, I’ve never seen him play this on video until now, only heard the audio.
The original master of fretless electric bass, most people have no idea what fretless bass means,
but it was fun to be around during this time. I was 14 when this was recorded, I missed these concerts, my older friends told me about seeing him play…
legend.
Love you Jaco….
obsessed with this tune, amazing harmonics technique
Jaco, the best…
He il an aliens. G.O.A.T. ON THE BASS.

For me, that Weather Report lineup with Jaco on Bass, was the best it ever was. After Jaco, electric bass players began a new journey.
Superb – the solo and the camera work!!
