When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

Word of Mouth




Word of Mouth is a collection of inventive, creative tunes and arrangements performed by a diverse collection of talented musicians. It runs the gamut of emotions, from the frenetic to the sublime. The music is always leading us somewhere, never content to stagnate. This is music that you should sit down and listen to, definitely not background music. This is the unique work of a gifted musician and composer.

Oh yeah, and he can play bass too :)

This album is about Jaco Pastorius as a composer and a musician. While he does take a few moments to dazzle us with his virtuosity on the electric bass, what really captivates is the sweep of this entire album as a complete work. His bass playing is everywhere, contributing significantly to the musical whole, but is always subservient to the musical task at hand.

so , this is Word of Mouth about ...
